The Château de Bouthéon rents meeting rooms, an auditorium, reception salons and two large open spaces to companies, associations and public bodies. Formats run from a working session of 5 people to a seated dinner for 120 or a standing reception for 190. The estate is in Andrézieux-Bouthéon, in the Loire department, about 15 km from Saint-Étienne and close to the motorway network.
Seminars and company events
The event offer is built around a mix of small and large rooms, so an organiser can combine a plenary session, break-out groups and a reception on one site. Several meeting rooms hold between 5 and 30 people, which suits steering committees, training days and workshops. The exact number of meeting rooms is not published, so ask for the room list when you request a visit.
The auditorium has 100 seats, including 4 places for people with reduced mobility. It works for a conference, a general assembly or a product presentation. Two reception salons can serve coffee breaks and cocktails around the sessions.
The 800 m² hall is shown in conference, stand and reception layouts. It is the space to consider for a trade-show style day, a convention or a larger plenary. A 400 m² esplanade extends the offer outdoors. The site adds that other spaces can be proposed according to the project.
Weddings and receptions
The château does not host weddings or events organised by private individuals. Rentals are reserved for companies, associations and public structures. Receptions are possible for these clients, such as an anniversary dinner, an inauguration or a cocktail after a conference.
Rooms and capacities
The two reception salons seat up to 120 guests for a meal and up to 190 in cocktail format. The auditorium holds 100. The meeting rooms take 5 to 30 people. The hall covers 800 m² and the esplanade 400 m². Layouts, equipment and the combination of rooms are agreed with the team when the quote is prepared.
Catering
A caterer's kitchen is made available to the provider you choose, so you are not tied to a single supplier. The estate also has a restaurant on site, La Petite Assiette du Château. For a large dinner or cocktail, plan the caterer early, since the kitchen serves both salons.
History and setting
The château belongs to the town of Andrézieux-Bouthéon and is open to the public as a heritage site with a park, exhibitions and a cultural programme. Public visits take place from Tuesday to Sunday and the monument is closed on Mondays, so ask which days are available for private use. A booking for a company event happens alongside this public life, which gives the estate a lively, accessible setting for staff and guests.
Getting there
The address is Rue Mathieu de Bourbon, 42160 Andrézieux-Bouthéon. Saint-Étienne is about 15 km away. A free car park of 100 spaces is available on site. For a quote, a visit or a question, the team can be reached by phone at 04 77 55 78 00 or through the contact form on the official site.
