Venue rental at the Mercure Villefranche-sur-Saône

Hidden behind its sober facade, the Mercure Villefranche-sur-Saône reveals a warm and elegant interior. The living areas, redesigned by architect Fabien Roque, contrast with the building’s contemporary architecture: authentic furnishings, noble materials, meticulous lighting and touches of greenery create a friendly atmosphere.

As a seminar hotel near Lyon, it welcomes groups and events with comfort, modularity, sustainable gastronomy and an urban farm on the roof. Right by the Beaujolais region and a host of team-building activities, it’s a great place to work, meet and breathe. A must for your events in the Rhône-Alpes region.

Right below the Beaujolais region, the Mercure Villefranche-sur-Saône is actively committed to sustainable tourism. This CSR seminar hotel favours local sourcing, organic products and French suppliers, while controlling its environmental impact through careful management of resources. Its A l’Epicerie restaurant makes the most of the harvests from its rooftop urban farm, which supplies up to 25% of its flowers, fruit and vegetables. A “farm to plate” approach, ideal for your business meals, cocktails or full group meals, near Lyon and Paris.

The Mercure Villefranche-sur-Saône is a CSR seminar hotel that has been awarded the Green Key label since 2025. Every year, the hotel repurposes more than 10 tonnes of waste, applies a 3-stream selective sorting system, uses 75% LED lighting, and limits waste thanks to a sensible linen policy and a partnership with Phénix, in line with sustainable tourism recommendations. Its rooftop urban farm supplies part of the restaurant with food. Supported by a CSR ambassador, the hotel mobilises its teams and partners for more responsible events.
