Château de Planchevienne

Set in peaceful Burgundy countryside near Magny-Cours, this elegant château brings together a character-filled historic setting and the practicalities event planners need. Behind the tree-lined drive you will find a lovingly restored castle with eight stylish bedrooms, welcoming lounges and a modern kitchen, all surrounded by 11 hectares of parkland and woodland. A heated outdoor pool, generous terraces and manicured borders create a beautiful backdrop for outdoor ceremonies, receptions and photographs.

Events are centred on Les Ecuries, a former 17th century stable block transformed into a dedicated ballroom complex. Interconnected rooms, a dramatic double-height entrance hall and tasteful architectural details deliver impact, while a professional kitchen, cloakroom and sanitary facilities, including accessible amenities, support smooth-running service. The space suits intimate gatherings of 30 as well as larger celebrations up to 300 guests, with ample on-site parking and atmospheric night lighting across the barn, terraces, park and château.

For overnight stays, the château accommodates up to 18 guests in seven double rooms and one family suite, with additional rooms available in the neighbouring farmhouse to increase capacity. Private hire is available for house-party style weekends or retreats, and the team can recommend trusted local partners for catering, floristry, photography, entertainment and production. There is no compulsory supplier list, giving organisers the freedom to build the right team for each brief.

Easily reached from the A77 and close to the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, the property works as well for weddings as for corporate off-sites, meetings and incentive stays. With authentic charm, flexible spaces and thoughtful amenities, it offers a refined countryside venue that is both inspiring and practical.
