Château Julie in 11 Rue de Naudonnet, open June–November.
Château Julie dates to the 18th century as a private aristocratic residence in the Bordeaux wine region, undergoing thoughtful restoration to preserve original stonework and period details while introducing modern hospitality amenities.
This hotel venue retains its classical French château architecture across 11 Rue de Naudonnet in Lieu-dit Naudonnet, offering ceremony spaces in manicured grounds and reception halls with original timber beaming.
The property operates as a full-service hotel, accommodating guests overnight and providing dedicated event coordination for multi-day celebrations.
We stayed for a wedding that was happening on-site. The rooms are clean and spacious and each has a country theme: Mexico, Australia, South Africa, etc. The building is tastefully redone and filled with old furniture and artifacts. There's a large library and a good sized breakfast room where tea, coffee, croissants, yogurt and fruit were available in the morning.
