Situated in the heart of the magnificent Vend\u00e9en countryside, the Ch\u00e2teau de Bourneau is a fairytale Renaissance-inspired ch\u00e2teau, surrounded by a moat and set in its tranquil park and woodland of 16 hectares. Its beautiful romantic setting makes it a magnificent venue for weddings, hospitality and outdoor events. Built in 1863 on the medieval foundations of the ancient ch\u00e2teau and inspired by the famous Azay-le-Rideau and the Ch\u00e2teau d’Anet, the Ch\u00e2teau de Bourneau is a unique homage to the French premier Renaisssance and a rare architectural feat for this region.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

We are Erin and Jean-Baptiste, an English-French couple who made the life-changing decision to leave behind our former careers and dedicate ourselves to the restoration and revival of Ch\u00e2teau de Bourneau.<\/p>\n

Guided by a shared passion for heritage, history, and hospitality, we have lovingly breathed new life into this magnificent estate. Today, the ch\u00e2teau is not only our home, but a place where we host elegant weddings, meaningful events, and welcome guests from around the world to enjoy the charm of our holiday cottages.<\/p>\n

Our journey has also been featured on the television series Ch\u00e2teau DIY<\/em>, where we have shared both the joys and challenges of restoring a historic property with an international audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you would like more behind the scene content, make sure to follow Erin’s diary on Instagram @TheIntrepidChatelaine<\/a> where she will regal you with our daily adventures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
