Seminars and company events
Château d'Art-sur-Meurthe hosts seminars, conferences, working days and company receptions in an 18th-century manor house just east of Nancy, in Lorraine. The rooms can be set as meeting rooms, banquet rooms or a dance floor, and the team arranges them as a plenary hall, in a U or as a conference room, depending on the program.
Seminar packages include the hire of the rooms, a welcome coffee with pastries, morning and afternoon breaks and lunch. An aperitif or an end-of-day cocktail can be added, and in fine weather lunch can be served in the garden near the pond. A large car park is available on site.
The château lists its own audiovisual equipment, quoted on request: a compact projector compatible with video and computers, a 102 cm plasma screen, sound for the meeting rooms with a speaker's lectern, video displays on stands and a professional camera for recording or live broadcast.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, christenings, communions, birthdays and family meals are the other half of the château's activity. Guests can arrive by horse-drawn carriage, gather for a welcome buffet at the foot of the grand staircase, then move through the rooms in a row, with a space set aside for children. From spring the park takes part in the event, with tables and cocktails outdoors. Events run on weekdays or at weekends, indoors or in the park.
Rooms and capacities
The ground floor runs in a line from the Petit Vatel and the Grand Vatel to the Salon des Frères, the Grand Hall and Hall Jean Lamour, and the Salon des Arts, with a Vatel room for children, a games room and cloakrooms. The château says its setup suits anything from an intimate dinner for a few guests to a wedding of several hundred. Room capacities are not published and are given with the quote.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms at the château. The team works with hotels nearby to lodge guests.
Catering
Catering is by Marcotullio Traiteur, which runs the château. Its full service covers the menus, table service, porcelain and silverware, interior decoration, flowers and entertainment. It can also add a marquee, a dance floor, plants, park lighting, magicians at the tables, childcare and fireworks. Every package includes the park, the cocktail gardens, parking and the château's tables and chairs.
History and setting
The house is an 18th-century manor, known in French as a gentilhommière, set in a large park of century-old trees with a pond and a kitchen garden called the Jardin des saveurs. It belongs to the Marcotullio group, which also runs the Abbaye des Prémontrés.
