Château de Boubène hosts small company seminars, strategy meetings, team-building days and business brunches, as well as intimate weddings, christenings, birthdays and family reunions. The venue works with two modular spaces, a large Oriental-style tent and a winter garden, set in 2 hectares of grounds. The owners do not publish a guest capacity, so the place suits small groups rather than large receptions. It stands at Saint-Marcet, in the Comminges hills of the Haute-Garonne, close to Saint-Gaudens and halfway between Toulouse and Tarbes.
Seminars and company events
The professional offer covers seminars, strategy meetings, team-building and company brunches. The Tente Caïdale, a tent decorated in an Oriental style, is proposed for collaborative workshops. The Jardin d'Hiver, a winter garden with views over the grounds, is proposed for breaks and networking.
The venue lists a video projector, a flipchart and high-speed Wi-Fi. On request, the owner can put you in touch with outdoor activities, specialist speakers and well-being workshops for a team day. Private parking, private restrooms, a lounge with a television and a terrace are included in the hire. Outdoor options include a pétanque court, a mini-golf, a basketball court, hammocks, a pool and a barbecue and plancha for informal breaks.
Weddings and receptions
For private clients, the château offers intimate weddings, christenings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays and family reunions. The same two spaces are used: the tent for a meal or a party in a warm setting, the winter garden for a drinks reception. Both open onto wooded lawns that work for photos, children's games and time between courses.
A private hire includes two double bedrooms, and extra mattresses can be added on request. Couples can also book the cottage on the eve of the event for the preparations.
Rooms and capacities
Two event spaces are offered: the Tente Caïdale and the Jardin d'Hiver. Neither has a published capacity or floor area, and the owner describes the tent as suited to intimate events. Ask for the maximum number of guests for your format before you plan a sit-down meal. The site is not adapted for guests with reduced mobility, and pets are not accepted.
Accommodation
The cottage on the estate is an independent 83 square meter unit for up to four people, with a living room, an equipped kitchen, two communicating bedrooms, a bathroom and a terrace facing the garden. Bed linen and towels are provided. For a larger group, guests will need lodging in Saint-Gaudens or the surrounding villages.
Catering
There is no catering on site. The owner can introduce trusted local caterers, or food trucks depending on availability, and provides a plancha, a barbecue and a preparation area. Plan your caterer and your rentals of tables and tableware early, since the venue does not run a kitchen service.
History and setting
The house was once a staging post on the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela, according to the owner. It is a family home, bought and restored by its current owner, who now opens it for stays and events. Each space is decorated in its own colors and themes.
Getting there
The château is at 254 chemin de Boubène in Saint-Marcet (31800), a short drive from Saint-Gaudens and about one hour from Toulouse-Blagnac airport, according to the venue. The owner asks for a first contact by message or the online form rather than by phone, and replies within 48 hours.
