BEYONCE threw a no expense spared birthday party for Jay-Z in France, where she rented out an entire castle.

The showbiz couple invited celebrity pals to the vineyards of the Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte near Bordeaux on Monday for the VIP reception as the rapper turned 54.

The huge celebration comes just weeks after King Charles and Queen Camilla were guests at the same castle as part of their charm offensive in France.

The Sun can reveal Rihanna, 35, and Kris Jenner, 68, were among the A-list guests who flew over to France for the party to toast Jay-Z.

There was a strict no-photo policy at the reception and guests were later invited to Bordeaux’s 5* Les Sources de Caudalie Hotel, which was hired out by Beyonce, 42, for the evening.

The stunning complex boasts a spa, its own vineyards and regal rooms adorned with chandeliers.

The couple’s trip to France comes hot on the heels of their flying visit to London for the premiere of Beyonce’s Renaissance film last week.

Despite keeping a low profile, the pair were snapped heading into private members club Oswald’s in Mayfair.

The couple were joined by Mission Impossible legend Tom Cruise, 61,  and The Witcher’s Henry Cavill, 40.

Beyonce used the film to offer a rare insight to her glamorous life – admitting she tried to stop her daughter Blue Ivy, who has joined her parents on their trip to Europe, from performing with her on the sell-out stadium tour.

The Break My Soul singer said in the big-screen documentary: “Blue told me she was ready to perform, and I told her ‘no,’

“I did not think it was an appropriate place for an 11-year-old, on the stadium stage.

“All the things I had to go through and the obstacles I had to overcome prepared me — and she hasn’t had that struggle.”

However, Blue went on to regularly appear on the trek.
