Château de la Corbe can host residential seminars, study days, company evenings, brand launches and weddings for up to 300 seated guests or 400 at a standing cocktail in its Orangerie. The estate is hired exclusively and has more than 100 beds spread between the château and its outbuildings. It stands at Bournezeau, in Vendée, 15 minutes from La Roche-sur-Yon.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells seminars, conventions, study days, receptions, company evenings, product launches and brand events. The château's lounges are used for meetings, board sessions and small-group work, while the billiard room and other living areas give an informal place to meet between sessions or after dinner. The listed equipment covers Wi-Fi, sound, a projector and a microphone.
With more than 100 beds on site, the Corbe suits residential seminars of one or more nights: work, meals, team activities and sleep take place on the same estate. The 25-hectare park leaves room for breaks and team-building, and the estate also has a lagoon-style pool, a tennis court and a pond. Company events have their own contact line and a dedicated team from the Lieux d'Exception collection.
Weddings and receptions
The château, the Orangerie, the chapel and the park give a different setting for each part of the day. The chapel, built in the 17th century, allows a religious ceremony on the estate, so guests move from ceremony to cocktail and dinner without leaving the grounds. The park can also host a lay ceremony or the drinks reception. The team accompanies couples from the first visit to the day itself, and guests can stay on site for the whole weekend.
Rooms and capacities
The Orangerie is the main reception room. It covers 380 square meters and holds up to 300 seated guests or 400 at a standing cocktail. The Salle Atlantique, of 70 square meters, is a second room for another part of the program, such as a breakout session or a children's dinner. The château lounges and the billiard room serve smaller meetings. The site lists a professional kitchen, professional sound, high-speed Wi-Fi, a secure private car park and step-free access.
Accommodation
The estate offers more than 100 beds between the château and its outbuildings. The number of bedrooms and their layout are not published, so ask for the room list when you plan sleeping arrangements.
Catering
A professional kitchen is available on site. The official pages do not say whether catering is in-house or provided by approved caterers; ask the team about menus and caterers when you request a quote.
History and setting
The first known house on the estate and its chapel were built in 1643 by Philippe Esgonnière. In 1898, Henri Daniel-Lacombe replaced the old manor with the present château, designed with an Italian architect. Its honey-colored facades and Tuscan lines are unusual in Vendée. Around the château stand the chapel, the former outbuildings arranged in a U, French-style gardens, old trees and a pond. In 2025 the château joined the Lieux d'Exception collection, alongside the Domaine nantais, Le Dôme, the Manoir de la Boulaie and the Château de la Brûlaire.
Getting there
The estate is 5 minutes from the A83 motorway and about 15 minutes from La Roche-sur-Yon high-speed rail station, from which guests continue by taxi, ride-hailing or private shuttle. Cholet is about 45 minutes away and Nantes about 50 minutes. Nantes Atlantique airport is about 50 minutes by road. A large private car park is on site.
