Withdraw from the noise of the business world to a space of inspiration and rejuvenation.
Privacy and discretion are the watch words of our success as a venue for senior managers and blue-chip companies.

Our Events
Music Festivals
Hear the melodies echo through the vast 16th Century halls during our annual International Festival of Chamber Music.
The annual International Festival of Chamber Music at Château de Jalesnes has raised the standard of classical music in the Saumur region to new heights, welcoming, as it does young performers from all over the world. We also host several unique concerts of all genres throughout the season all of which take place in exciting performance spaces throughout the chateau and its grounds.
Christmas Markets
Christmas at the chateau is an exquisitely exciting season when the halls are filled with greenery from the forest decorated with colored, blown-glass baubles and garlands of fairy lights.
The aromas of roasting meats and plum pudding in the kitchen mingle with the heady notes of cinnamon and cloves in the mulled wine at the bar. Set against this quintessential back-drop is the annual Chateau Christmas Fair – a cheerful gathering of artisans, carol singers, sleigh rides and Father Christmas.
Motor Sports Events
At Chateau de Jalesnes we are passionate about motor sports.
As the closest 5* Accommodation to Le Mans, we often have race teams, journalists and enthusiasts alike staying with us in our private guest suites throughout the year. We also play host to several Classic Car Rallies when we enjoy the spectacle of beautifully polished gems of motoring history juxtaposed with the Renaissance lines of our moated castle – very often admired over a glass of local wine.
