Château de la Resle suits board retreats, general meetings, team-building days, creative residencies, multi-day workations and small weddings. The château can be hired exclusively, with five modular spaces, 10 rooms and suites and a pool and spa reserved for the group. It is a four-star hotel at Montigny-la-Resle, in the Yonne, between the Chablis vineyards and Auxerre, about 1 h 30 from Paris.
Seminars and company events
The hotel's business offer covers leadership seminars, general meetings, team days, creative residencies, stays of several days that mix work and rest, photo shoots and car rallies. Five modular spaces are fully equipped. The team builds turnkey packages that combine accommodation, meals, rooms, transfers, activities and on-site support. Transfers can be arranged from Paris, Auxerre or Laroche-Migennes, and valet and concierge services are listed. Activities include Chablis wine tastings and bike rides in the vineyards.
The size of the château keeps groups small. The hotel does not publish meeting room capacities, so ask the events team for the right layout and the number of participants each space takes.
Weddings and receptions
The château hosts small weddings, birthdays, family gatherings and weekends for groups of friends or enthusiasts. The hotel states that it accepts small celebrations while protecting the calm of the estate for guests, neighbors and animals. Turnkey formats can combine accommodation, meals, entertainment and support. The pool and spa can be booked privately for the group.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel lists five modular indoor spaces, a tree-lined park for outdoor activities, and a pool and spa area. Names and capacities of the meeting spaces are not given on the site; the seminar brochure, available on request, should answer this.
Accommodation
The château has 10 rooms and suites with contemporary design, each named after a Burgundy place such as Chablis, Irancy, Saint-Bris, Vézelay, Fontenay or Montigny. Breakfast is included in all rates. One family suite takes two adults and two children, and three suites take two adults and one child. Check-in runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Every room has a minibar with Burgundy wines and craft beers, and an honesty bar is open 24 hours. Pets are not accepted and the whole property is non-smoking, with two designated smoking areas.
Catering
La Table de la Resle, the hotel restaurant, serves a fixed seasonal menu built on local farm produce and Burgundy wines from growers who work with minimal intervention. It is reserved for hotel guests and opens five evenings a week. On other evenings and during the day, a board of local cheese and charcuterie is served on the terrace or in the room. The kitchen is small, so menus for specific diets are limited. For events, the team tailors meals with local produce.
History and setting
Since 2005, the château has gathered a collection that mixes period furniture bought at auction, contemporary art from galleries and design pieces by young makers. The hotel is a member of Design Hotels. It runs an environmental program: filtered water instead of single-use plastic, local and organic sourcing, and a kitchen garden meant to supply the restaurant by 2027.
Getting there
The château is 10 minutes from an exit of the A6 motorway and less than two hours from Paris by road. By train, a direct service links Paris Bercy to Auxerre, where taxis wait at the station; the hotel recommends a car to explore the area.
