The Château de Labro hosts day and residential seminars, training sessions, conventions, general meetings, client days, cocktail dinners, gala evenings and weddings. Its largest room, La Grange, seats 220 in theater layout or 200 at dinner, and its outdoor areas take up to 300 guests. The château is a hotel with a restaurant and spa at Onet-le-Château, a few kilometers from Rodez in the Aveyron.
Seminars and company events
La Grange is a 300-square-meter event hall under a large timber roof, lit by two crystal chandeliers. It can be divided and has a reception lounge area. It takes 120 in classroom, 220 in theater, 50 in a U-shape, 60 around a boardroom table and 200 for a cocktail or a dinner. La Bergerie, a 110-square-meter seminar room with exposed beams and stone and a view over the valley, takes 36 in classroom, 70 in theater, 30 in a U-shape, 100 for a cocktail and 75 at dinner.
For board meetings, Labro'voir offers 45 square meters in a quieter setting, and the Salon de Chasse and Salon Vert serve as breakout rooms. The glazed piano bar can be privatized for a business lunch or dinner. A dedicated team builds each program. Activities include wine tasting, Segway, mountain biking, quad, hot-air balloon and helicopter flights.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding can follow the estate in order: arrival along the château drive, guests waiting on the château terrace, a ceremony in the shaded park, drinks in front of the pool enclosure among the vines or by the old farmhouse, then dinner in La Grange. The team recommends caterers, florists, photographers and musicians, or supplies a packaged service. Equipment includes Napoleon III gala chairs, round tables, a caterer's area, sound system, lectern and stage, a children's room with a large screen, and a private car park for 150 cars.

Catering
The restaurant, Le Clos, is a bistro with a young chef who cooks local produce such as Aveyron veal, Aubrac beef and regional cheeses. Groups of up to 40 seated or 60 at a buffet can dine in the bistro and piano bar. For wedding dinners, the château works with regional caterers. The estate's own white wine, Clos Labro, comes from six grape varieties planted around the pool.
History and setting
The château dates from the early 16th century; the year 1519 is carved into its tower. Antoine de Créato, lord of Labro, built it on an L-shaped plan, with a stair tower and mullioned windows. The estate later became a livestock farm, and Pierre-Louis-Joseph Maynier gave the house its present, more symmetrical look in the early 19th century. Jean and Nizou Rouquet restored it from 2001 and opened it to guests. Since 2024 Rémi Nabaillès has run it.
Getting there
The château lies on the edge of Rodez, at the hamlet of Labro in Onet-le-Château. Rodez station and Rodez-Aveyron airport are the closest rail and air links. The private car park takes 150 cars.
