The estate sleeps 42 people across three buildings that can be booked together for exclusive use. The château has six bedrooms with 20 beds in total, including extra beds. The apartment, set in a former barn next to the main house, has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and eight beds. The Annexe is a group dormitory for 14, with six alcoves and one double bedroom upstairs, and a shared bathroom. The château also takes bed and breakfast guests outside events.
Catering
The château works with its own chef, who cooks for weddings and seminars and guides the menu from planning to the day of the event. The site describes gourmet dishes inspired by world flavors, after twenty years spent overseas.
History and setting
The estate faces a wide view from the Col de l'Arc to the Lans valley, inside the Vercors massif. The owners, Céline and Dimitri, furnished the interiors with a mix of old and modern pieces. They also run other reception venues in the Alps, near Toulouse and near Saint-Émilion.
Getting there
The château is about 30 minutes by car from Grenoble, on the Vercors plateau between Lans-en-Vercors and Villard-de-Lans. Grenoble station is the closest main-line station, and the drive climbs onto the plateau by mountain road. Plan winter access with the team, since the plateau is a ski area.
