Seminars and company events
The château lists company events among its offers, with team building and end-of-year parties as examples, and a separate offer for workshops, including well-being and creative sessions. The pages read do not give a seminar capacity or an equipment list, so ask for both. The largest indoor room is the grand salon, with a stated maximum of 100 people. Two adjoining rooms open onto it, and the same setup can serve as breakout space. The château is near Aix-les-Bains, Annecy and Chambéry, and Geneva is within reach.
Weddings and receptions
The garden has centuries-old trees and a pond, and the owners use it for secular ceremonies outdoors. The cocktail can take place in the garden or in the orangerie, which the château describes as bright. Inside, the grand salon holds up to 100 guests. Two adjoining rooms open onto the main hall and can serve for children's meals, for the suppliers' meal or for any other arrangement. The château lets couples choose their own providers. It also offers a lay officiant for the ceremony.
Rooms and capacities
The grand salon takes 100 people at most. Two adjoining rooms open onto it. The orangerie is used for cocktails and entertainment. The garden and park host ceremonies. The château also lists concerts, photo shoots and filming among the events it welcomes.
Accommodation
Five bedrooms sleep up to 10 people, so the château suits a small group staying on site, such as a wedding party, rather than a residential seminar for a large team. Other lodging must be found nearby.
Catering
The château lets clients choose their providers. The pages read do not mention an in-house kitchen, so ask whether a caterer is required and whether tableware and kitchen space are provided.

The house dates from the 17th century and stands in a wooded park in Chautagne, between lake and mountains. It belonged to the Fortis family until the 20th century, and the estate keeps their motto: noble as the lion, industrious as the bee, just as the scales.
