Château de Kerambleiz can host seminars, conferences, general meetings, receptions and weddings for up to 120 guests seated inside and 250 under a marquee, and it can sleep about 70 people on site. The château stands in Plomelin, in southern Finistère, on the banks of the Odet between Quimper and the Bénodet estuary.
Seminars and company events
The owners rent the château year-round for business events: seminars, conferences, general meetings and working sessions. On either side of a 45-square-meter entrance hall, two large salons can seat up to 120 people. The usual layout uses one of them, the paneled room, as a lounge for breaks and the other as the plenary room. A third room on the ground floor takes about 30 participants for a committee or breakout session.
For a larger convention, a structure for 250 people can be set up in front of the château. The site lists theme evenings, large lawns for outdoor activities, several kilometers of paths in a private forest, a heated outdoor pool and sea fishing on the estuary. Golf at Kerbernez, the Odet and Cornouaille, sailing, surfing, riding and karting are nearby.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings range from a few dozen guests to more than 250. The paneled salon keeps its period moldings and stained glass. The reception room, over 70 square meters with two turrets, looks over the Odet and the park. A few meters from the château, a 300-square-meter marquee seats 250 and comes heated, with a wooden floor, ceiling drapes and chandeliers. The walled pool area of about 3,000 square meters is used for the wine reception.
When all the accommodation is booked, the whole estate is reserved for the group, which gives exclusive use of the château and its 20-hectare park.

History and setting
The château was built in the second half of the 19th century. Its park of 20 hectares runs for more than 600 meters along the tidal Odet, with a small port where pleasure boats moor, a private forest crossed by paths, rolling meadows and a walled half-hectare enclosure around the pool. The view across the river is free of buildings.
Getting there
Plomelin is about 10 km from Quimper. The owners give 15 minutes to Quimper TGV station and 10 minutes to Quimper-Pluguffan airport. Bénodet and the coast are a short drive south. The estate also rents a chauffeured Jaguar for wedding couples and guests.
