Château Les Garennes stands in Clohars-Fouesnant near Bénodet, a neoclassical estate built in 1890 within 55 hectares of English-style grounds, 22 of them wooded and officially recognised as a Jardin Remarquable. This historic wedding chateau in Brittany once served as a German kommandantur in 1940 and later sheltered French resistance figures, including Honoré d’Estienne d’Orves, in 1944.
Fully renovated in 2020, it now operates as a luxury hotel and spa, offering exclusive hire for weddings and private events. Wedding packages provide use of the château, parkland, and marquee space from Friday morning to Sunday evening, with options for banquets up to 180 guests or cocktails for up to 250. The venue's location between Quimper and Sainte-Marine allows easy access to notable Breton destinations including Concarneau, La Torche, and the Glénan Islands, with scenic coastal and countryside excursions available by arrangement.
