The restored former farm of the Château de La Brède can be hired for meetings, training days, seminars and receptions of up to 100 people. It stands on the château estate at 65 avenue du Château in La Brède, Gironde, and gives a working group five rooms in one building, with the moated château a short walk away.
Seminars and company events
The farm offers five rooms for work meetings, training days and events. The large room suits a seminar, a conference, workshops, a welcome coffee or a cocktail. Screens and video projectors are provided. The four small rooms suit a welcome coffee, a visit briefing or a small meeting, and come with tables, chairs, a paperboard, a projector, a screen and Wi-Fi. The team can add a guided visit of the château to a booking, and other tailored activities such as team building are mentioned on the rental page. Each request is quoted individually, so give the type of event, date, hours and number of guests.
Rooms and capacities
The large room measures 110 m². It holds 80 people in conference layout or 100 for a cocktail. The four smaller rooms measure 25 m² each. Each takes 15 people in meeting layout or 25 for a cocktail. Photos on the site show the large room in a U-shaped layout and set for a caterer's meal.
Catering
The estate does not cook for you. For lunch or a buffet, you bring in a caterer who delivers to the farm. The site shows photos of caterer meals set up in the large room, and of coffee and breakfast breaks.
History and setting
The château has stood at the centre of its estate since the 13th century. It is a former medieval fortress whose walls rise from water-filled moats, surrounded by a large wooded park. The estate covers 150 hectares and is listed as a historic monument. It was the home of the writer Montesquieu. The farm was restored by the Fondation Jacqueline de Chabannes and has received the Tourisme et Handicap label for the four families of disability, which matters when your group includes people with reduced mobility or other needs. The château also holds the Accueil Vélo label, which helps teams who arrive by bike.
Getting there
The address is 65 avenue du Château, 33650 La Brède. The site has a page for directions to the château, and the reception can be reached by telephone for a quote.
