Retreats at Château de Jalesnes

The Château de Jalesnes is not only a sought-after wedding venue – it’s also a magical destination for immersive retreats that celebrate art, culture, cuisine, and personal growth. Nestled in the serene heart of the Loire Valley, our Renaissance château offers a one-of-a-kind setting for learning, connection, and relaxation.

In recent years, Château de Jalesnes has welcomed a range of thoughtfully curated retreats, each making use of the château’s unique atmosphere:
