ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CHALON-SUR-SAÔNE, THE ELEGANCE OF A 19TH-CENTURY ESTATE Behind a circular main courtyard lined with century-old trees, the Château de la Villeneuve reveals an instantly recognizable silhouette. Two corner turrets, a slate roof?a rarity in the region?and the balance of a symmetrical layout define the identity of this 19th-century bourgeois residence. Connected to a spectacular contemporary orangery that opens onto the grounds, the estate today combines a residence of character, an established hospitality business, and a refined lifestyle?all just a few minutes from Chalon-sur-Saône and the vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise. 19TH-CENTURY ARCHITECTURE COMPLEMENTED BY A CONTEMPORARY ORANGERY Built at the height of the Industrial Revolution, the Château de la Villeneuve belongs to that generation of bourgeois mansions whose architecture reflected both success and a way of life. Its symmetrical layout, two corner turrets, dormer windows, ridge ironwork, and slate roof create a silhouette that is instantly recognizable in the regional landscape. A rarity in Burgundy, this roof contributes to the estate's unique character and evokes the architectural style of the grand residences of 19th-century notables. Inside, the original features naturally extend this elegance. Wood paneling, moldings, fireplaces, spiral staircases, and antique hardwood floors complement the spacious, light-filled rooms. Every detail seems to have found its perfect place, striking a delicate balance between historic character and contemporary comfort. Extending from the château, the contemporary orangery offers a new perspective on the estate. Spanning nearly 125 m², this vast glass structure interacts with the park through wide openings that blur the boundary between interior and exterior. The 60 m² wooden terrace naturally extends this light-filled reception area, designed to host everything from large family gatherings to moments of relaxation or more intimate receptions. MARGUERITE BOUCICAUT'S LEGACY IN A PRESERVED PARK The history of the Château de la Villeneuve bears the discreet yet essential mark of Marguerite Boucicaut. A native of Chalon-sur-Saône and co-founder of Le Bon Marché in Paris alongside her husband Aristide Boucicaut, she remains one of the most influential figures in 19th-century French philanthropy. It was thanks to the inheritance she left behind that the Charrier-Guérin family was able to acquire the property, permanently embedding the estate in a unique family and heritage history. This legacy continues to shape the identity of the place today. It links the château to a human journey that extends beyond the borders of Burgundy and serves as a reminder of the major role Marguerite Boucicaut played in French social and economic history. Surrounding the mansion, the historic 5,500 m² park provides a setting worthy of this legacy. Organized around a large circular main courtyard, dotted with century-old trees and open vistas, it offers a preserved landscape where greenery graces every view. The seasons are fully expressed here, amid soft shadows, lush foliage, and unobstructed views of the château's facades. This abundance of greenery gives the estate a distinctive atmosphere while maintaining close proximity to the city. A HOSPITABLE DESTINATION IN THE HEART OF THE CÔTE CHALONNAISE The Château de la Villeneuve's location is a major factor in its appeal. Situated on the outskirts of Chalon-sur-Saône, the estate enjoys quick access to shops, services, the train station, and major transportation routes. The A6 highway connects Lyon and Paris, while the vineyards of Mercurey, Rully, and Givry anchor the property in the heart of one of the most sought-after regions of the Côte Chalonnaise. This prime location directly supports the hospitality tradition cultivated over the years. The estate attracts visitors eager to explore Burgundy's wine-growing landscapes, travelers seeking a more intimate getaway, and business professionals passing through the Chalonnais region. Already successfully operating as a bed-and-breakfast?distinguished by the Clef Verte label for its commitment to more responsible tourism?the property currently generates annual revenue of approximately euros100,000 (excluding tax). Its current structure makes significant expansion of this business a realistic prospect. Hosting wellness retreats, expanding the range of accommodations, or creating new experiences centered on the local area all offer opportunities to continue the property's legacy.
