Your welcome was exceptional. We felt right at home, thanks to your attentiveness, availability and sense of service. You went above and beyond, and even managed to handle our last-minute changes and scheduling issues with remarkable efficiency. It is always a pleasure to come to Montcelard, and once again you greatly contributed to the success of our meeting. Some of us even said they would like to get married here, which shows just how memorable the experience is! Well done for your professionalism.

The Montcelard estate,
a place steeped
in history

Born in 1682 around the “château Guérin”, Montcelard flourished in the 19th century under the impetus of the silk merchant Paul Desgrand, who built the Manor House (1841), designed an English-style park, an orangery and greenhouses.

In the mid-20th century, the Poor Clare Sisters found a haven of peace there and undertook the restoration of the buildings. Since 2011, the Institut Mérieux has restored the site to its full splendour, combining heritage and innovation.
