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.
