French chateau with bedrooms

In addition to its large halls, this French chateau with bedrooms offers 28 housings and more than 200 accommodations in Vallery and its surroundings! Enough to accommodate 150 guests in Vallery for one or two nights. Let your guests enjoy your event to the full. This generous hotel configuration will allow you to have a longer and more comfortable reception.

Each accommodation has its own universe for all sensibilities. The History of France is at the bedside of the bride and groom and their guests. Then Orient illuminates the old stables above the Pavilion. The triplex bridal suite in the largest dovecote in France is also a highlight. Then, four rooms frame the small oasis of the Palm Grove.

Under the starry Burgundy sky

The largest Dovecote in France: a bridal suite unique in the world which develops on 3 levels under the sign of water, stars and wonder. It overlooks the chateau de Vallery and its park, which is lit up by a thousand torches in the evening. The small path that links the medieval chateau to the Oriental Pavilion leads to the Dovecote and the Palm grove, nestled in the 12th century ramparts. Entirely rebuilt in 2006, this monument has retained its architectural origins but benefits from contemporary facilities.

What vocation?

Its 2,844 pigeon holes, monolithic bathtub and overhead lighting make the Dovecote one of the Chateau’s favorite rooms. Slightly rivalled by the Loft suite or the Renaissance Charlotte de Montmorency room, the Dovecote offers many advantages to its guests. This is why it is very often requested as the bridal suite for the chateau’s weddings. And for good reason...

Renaissance (hi)stories

In the heart of the Renaissance chateau, historic rooms, 17th century wallpaper, four-poster beds in a meticulously restored setting. The herringbone parquet floors, the period floor tiles and the bathrooms have been completely renovated. Some of the rooms are double rooms and others are family suites. Arrange the distribution of your guests according to the 16 rooms and accommodations in the Renaissance chateau on its 4 levels.

Princes and sovereigns

The fireplaces in each of the rooms attest to their authenticity. It should also be noted that for safety reasons, these fireplaces have been closed off. However, the temperatures here are very pleasant; they are all centrally heated. Despite major changes in the 1990s, the Renaissance chateau has retained its history. And what a history! It is a testimony to the fact that the kings of France, Henry II, Henry IV and Louis XIII, all stayed here. Some of the rooms in the Renaissance chateau have been named after these illustrious kings. The Bourbon-Condé family branch, which lived in Vallery up to the time of the Grand Condé, should be mentioned here. The Princesses and Princes of Condé are buried under the high altar of the church of Vallery little village.

The Loft Bridal Suite

Of the 28 rooms on the estate, 3 are inspired by the charms of the Orient. Among them, the Loft: a duplex of 150 m2 and its large bay window opening onto the large pool. On the other hand, more sheltered and overlooking the 12th century ramparts: Sahara and Levant, both in the typical style of Marrakech. As the millennium changed, the former stable of the chateau was transformed into the "Oriental Pavilion". The building is equipped with modern facilities and heating, ideal for winter and mid-season weddings. The living room of the Loft, with its Balinese accents, allows you to reside on the first floor of the Pavilion thanks to a fully equipped kitchen. So, on the eve of your reception, dine opposite the Renaissance chateau and the wisteria of the Rose Garden. The Loft suite takes us on a journey in the footsteps of Magellan and Vasco de Gama. Persian and Afghan carpets and kilims adorn the rustic floor tiles on these two levels. The Loft and the rooms are decorated with furniture, lanterns and trinkets from the East and sometimes even from Indonesia.

Teak, sand and palm trees

The teak and sandalwood rooms open onto an enclosed garden with date palms and century-old olive trees. This is why the grass here is replaced by sand. In the heart of this Garden of Eden, a small hot water pool and a shelter called "Gazebo" are a natural extension of the rooms. Veiled canopies and furniture exude the scent of teak oil and incense.

4authentic and cosy rooms

Nirvana and Figuier welcome your guests with their own access and bathroom. Both are independent and each is housed in its own little pavilion. First, Figuier faces the swimming pool, hidden by its hedge and its specific access. Then, Nirvana faces the Gazebo, the heart of this lush and exotic garden of palm trees and bamboos. On the other side of this small kiosk, Samsara and Darjeeling share a sumptuous bathroom in the center of the building. Also, this equatorial garden is enclosed by the medieval ramparts on one side and the Dovecote on the other.

From the Middle Ages to today

The "Vieux Château" welcomes you between the postern and a shooting tower at the beginning of the ramparts. In the 12th century, the knight Jehan de Vallery built a vast citadel that could house 5000 soldiers. From this medieval architecture remain the ramparts, the vaulted cellars, the postern and the medieval chateau. This building survived the Renaissance wing in its extension, which was built three centuries later but destroyed in the 19th century. Then, in the 20th century, transformed into a hunting lodge, this medieval chateau valiantly withstood the harsh tests of history and the rough weather. Finally, the old chateau was restored in 1993, from its roof to its underground passages! An underground gallery does exist in the grounds of Vallery, accessible from this building at the foot of one of the postern’s vaults. It is said that these underground passages led to Fontainebleau and Sens before collapsing here and there. Here again, the history of the chateau is mixed with the legends of Vallery.
