Château de Noirieux can host seminars, conferences, product launches, cocktails and private events for up to 200 guests, and lodge up to 50 participants in 19 rooms and suites. The four-star hotel stands in a 9-hectare park overlooking the Loir valley, at 26 route du Moulin in Briollay, 15 minutes from Angers in Maine-et-Loire.
Seminars and company events
The Orangerie is the estate's room for company events. It holds up to 200 people standing at a cocktail or seated in theater style, 180 at a seated banquet, or 160 with a dance floor. It is fully air-conditioned and fitted with a sound system and a video projector, and a kitchen built into the building allows meals to be served without outside logistics. The layout can be changed to suit a plenary, a conference, a cocktail or a launch.
The park can take up to 200 people for team-building, with cultural, sporting and playful activities designed by the hotel's team. Between sessions, participants can use the gardens and the pool. For a residential seminar, the 19 rooms and suites sleep up to 50 people on site, so a two-day program can run without a coach transfer.
Rooms and capacities
The Orangerie takes 200 standing or in theater layout, 180 at banquet and 160 with a dance floor. The restaurant seats 60, and the veranda offers a more private setting for 25. The terrace serves lunch, afternoon tea, aperitifs and dinner in good weather. The 9-hectare park, with its vegetable garden and maze, adds outdoor space for activities and breaks.
Accommodation
The 19 rooms and suites are split between the château and the manor. Room categories in the château include Classic, Superior, Deluxe, Deluxe Family and a Junior Suite; the manor has Superior and Prestige rooms and a Junior Suite. The rooms look out over the gardens and the Loir valley. Guests have use of the pool, a hot tub, the lounge bar and the gardens, and massages can be booked in the room or outdoors.
Catering
The restaurant L'Attilio Briollay is run by chef Attilio Marrazzo, who also has a restaurant on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. He cooks French classics with local inspiration and draws on the estate's kitchen garden. For a seminar, the team prepares seasonal menus for breaks, lunches, dinners and cocktails, served in the restaurant, on the veranda or in the Orangerie with its own kitchen.
History and setting
The estate brings together several historic buildings, among them the château, the manor, a chapel and the orangery. The hotel's site dates these buildings to between the 15th and 17th centuries on one page and traces the château to the 13th century on another. The park overlooks the Loir, and the hotel offers bike rides with a picnic basket, walks through the grounds, the vegetable garden and the maze, and eco-grazing in the meadows.
Getting there
Briollay is 15 minutes by road from Angers. The hotel gives a journey of about two hours by train from Paris, with Angers Saint-Laud station as the arrival point, and less than three hours by car from Paris.
