Château La Gallée in Millery, open June–September.
Château La Gallée stands apart for its authentic 18th-century architecture combined with working vineyard grounds that span the Rhône Valley landscape.
Unlike purpose-built wedding venues, this operating estate preserves the genuine character of French rural nobility while hosting celebrations.
The château's stone facades and manicured grounds provide a historically rooted backdrop rather than a constructed event space.
A beautiful place at the middle of nowhere. There's nothing to do and there's no way to escape from there. If your company is planning to make some corporate event there, run. Unless you have a car and you can come by it. Otherwise you'll be condemned to attend some poorly organized and terribly animated activities at the middle of nowhere, where no one will hear your scream! The place is beautiful though.
