Château de Lagrange can host seminars, business lunches, company events, family days, Christmas parties and garden receptions, for a few guests up to 100 seated in its salons and more in the garden. The largest room, the Salon bleu, takes 80 in theater style or 100 standing. The château stands on the Route de Luxembourg in Manom, in the Moselle department, next to Thionville.
Seminars and company events
The château sells tailored events for companies: business lunches, seminars, family days, Christmas parties and specific activities. The rooms can be set up as meeting rooms or as banquet rooms, and the furniture of the house stays in place. Videoconference, audio conference and video projection are available. For a full-day seminar, a group can work in the Salon bleu, eat in the Salon rouge or the dining room, and take breaks on the terrace or in the garden.
Turnkey or à la carte formats are offered. The owners take bookings all year, even when the château is closed to visitors in winter.
Weddings and receptions
The Jardin des Prairiales is offered for secular ceremonies followed by a drinks reception, as a dry hire during the day. Since the house is a private home, no accommodation is offered. Couples can also book a photo session in the grounds throughout the year, and the Salon rouge can serve as an indoor backdrop. Advance booking is required.

Catering
A caterer's kitchen with professional equipment is available to the client. The château does not name a house caterer, so you choose your own and the team helps with the logistics.
History and setting
From the early Middle Ages to the end of the seventeenth century, La Grange passed by marriage and inheritance through several Luxembourg families without ever being sold. The first sale took place in 1700, to Brice Gomé des Hasards, a counselor at the Parliament of Metz. His son Christophe had the present château built to plans by Robert de Cotte. Ruined, he sold the estate in 1750 to the Marquis de Fouquet, the king's lieutenant general for the Metz region. His direct descendants still own the château today.
Getting there
The château is on the Route de Luxembourg in Manom, at the edge of Thionville. Thionville station has TER and TGV services, and Metz is a short drive south. Luxembourg Findel is the nearest airport. Parking and access for coaches should be checked with the owners.
