The Grange du Tillau is the main seminar room, with space for up to 100 people, a projector and Wi-Fi. The venue targets companies from the Doubs and from French-speaking Switzerland.
Weddings and receptions
The Grange takes up to 120 wedding guests. It is built entirely of wood and comes without imposed decoration, so couples dress it as they wish. The terrace and garden host the ceremony, the drinks reception and breaks, with the mountains as a backdrop, and pagoda tents can be added. The property can be booked for the full day, from getting ready to the ceremony, the dinner and the party. The team does not impose suppliers but can recommend photographers, florists and musicians.

The Salle du Conseil seats 10 around a boardroom table. The Grange seats up to 100 for a seminar and 120 for a wedding. The panoramic terrace takes more than 100 people for a cocktail or a break and can be covered with reception tents.
Accommodation
The hotel has 11 bedrooms, which can house a seminar group or the families and friends of a wedding couple. Guests also have use of a lounge bar.
Catering
Food is a strong point. La Table du Tillau, the gourmet restaurant, was selected by the Michelin Guide in 2021 and again in 2026, and the house is a Restaurant de Qualité of the Collège Culinaire de France and a member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. A bistro menu is served in the lounge. For weddings, the kitchen team designs the menu, and couples may also bring their own caterer.
History and setting
The building is a traditional Comtoise farm, fully renovated and decorated in a modern mountain style. It stands in open countryside in the Jura mountains, with summer and winter activities close by. Cross-country skier Anouk Faivre Picon is an ambassador of the house.
Getting there
Le Tillau is 20 minutes from Pontarlier, about 50 minutes from Yverdon-les-Bains, an hour from Neuchâtel and an hour and a quarter from Besançon. Pontarlier is the nearest town with a train station. Most groups arrive by car, which suits a residential seminar for teams based in the Doubs or in western Switzerland.
