Château d'Étoges hosts study days, residential seminars, business dinners and private banquets for family occasions. The château is a hotel with rooms and suites in two buildings, a gourmet restaurant, a bistro and a spa, set in a 19-hectare park with fountains and pools. It stands at 4 rue de Richebourg in Étoges, in the Marne, in the Champagne wine region, about 20 km from Épernay.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells two main formats. The study day includes the meeting room, breaks and lunch in the bistro. The residential seminar adds dinner, a night in the château and breakfast, in shared or single rooms. Seminar rooms can be set in theatre, classroom, U or square layout, depending on the group and the dates. A projector, a paperboard, a screen, Wi-Fi and a telephone come with the room. A sound system and other equipment can be rented.
The day starts with pastries, cake, biscuits, hot drinks and fruit juice. Breaks are served in a private lounge or on the terrace that faces the château, and themed breaks can be arranged. Lunch can be a working lunch or a full meal, and dinner can be more formal, in the gourmet restaurant. A Champagne tasting can be added to the program.
Weddings and receptions
The château does not sell a wedding package. It does host banquets for family occasions such as wedding anniversaries, family gatherings and retirements, with lunch served at L'Orangerie. A dining room can be reserved for the group alone, subject to availability. Banquet menus are available on request.
Rooms and capacities
The hotel does not publish the names, areas or capacities of its seminar rooms. Ask the events team for a room that fits your number and layout before you choose dates.
Accommodation
Rooms and suites are split between the château and L'Orangerie, a separate pavilion with a family suite. The château offers five categories, from the 18 m² Cocon rooms, named Louise and Henriette, to Signature rooms of 35 to 45 m² and a 50 m² two-bedroom suite for up to four people. Every room looks over the park, its gardens and fountains. The furniture was restored or sourced by the decorator Séverine Baehrel. The site gives 29 rooms and suites in one place and 23 plus 9 in another; confirm the total with the hotel.
Catering
The hotel runs two restaurants. L'Orangerie is the gourmet restaurant, led by chef Anthony Thibaut and open from Wednesday to Sunday. L'Atelier is a bistro with modern and traditional cooking, open from Friday to Tuesday for lunch and dinner, reached through the shaded village square.
History and setting
The estate began as a royal relay on the road to the East, built to lodge travelers, and has stood for several centuries. The château says its fountains and pools inspired those of Versailles. A spring feeds the spa, which uses organic cosmetics.
