Au Clos du Lac in Gueux, open June–October.
Au Clos du Lac stands apart as a lakeside hotel venue in Champagne that offers on-site accommodation for 100+ guests, eliminating the logistics of coordinating separate hotels.
Located in Gueux, this 4.9-rated property combines direct waterfront access with a full-service hotel operation, allowing your wedding party to stay, celebrate, and depart from one location.
The venue's integrated approach to destination weddings—where guests sleep steps from the reception space—sets it apart from traditional standalone banquet halls.
Au Clos du Lac is so much more than just a place to stay on your travels. It has the warmth, comforts and safety of home where all considerations of fine detail are so beautifully put together by the wonderful host, Anaïs. We are so pleased that we booked our stay at this exceptional Bed & Breakfast. Our room was gorgeous and comfortable. The breakfast was sensational every day and far exceeded anything we have experienced on our travels! Just so delicious, nutritious, fresh and a great start to our day! Ohhhhh, and the homemade rhubarb jam is delectable. The bikes available for use are a wonderful touch that we enjoyed using daily to explore the area. We can't thank you enough Anaïs for your welcome, your care, and all your hard work. All appreciated so much. I hope we can return here again someday. Sad to be leaving.
