Château de la Poterie, on the banks of the Erdre in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre near Nantes, rents more than 600 m² of modular reception salons for groups of 20 to 600 people. The rooms are set in the former stables and outbuildings of the château. Seminars, conventions, gala dinners, weddings, cocktails and exhibitions are all listed among the events it hosts.
Seminars and company events
The château presents itself as a place to gather, inform, motivate and reward teams. Its salons can be arranged for conventions, internal meetings, client events, product presentations and collection previews. A seminar photo on the site shows a U-shaped setup for a product presentation, and others show conference, banquet and standing cocktail layouts.
The venue provides professional equipment: furniture, audiovisual equipment, Wi-Fi and a professional kitchen. Outside, large terraces and lawns extend the event space, and a large private parking lot serves guests. Team-building options shown on the site include a boat trip on the Erdre from the château, outdoor games and a vintage car exhibition.
Weddings and receptions
The château also hosts weddings, buffets, cocktails, family receptions and private parties. The salons have exposed century-old roof beams, hand-cut Loire stone fireplaces and large glass bays. Photos on the site show a banquet in the large reception room, a lunch outdoors facing the water and a tent set up outside for a cocktail.
Rooms and capacities
The official site gives a total of more than 600 m² of modular salons, for groups of 20 to 600 people. It does not list individual room names or per-room capacities in the pages we reviewed, and a separate page with the floor plan of the salons exists on the site. Ask the team for the layout that matches your headcount and format.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms mentioned on site. The château keeps a list of partner hotels for guests who need to stay overnight.
Catering
Catering is handled by the château's partner caterers. The kitchen on site is professional, so the caterer you choose can work directly from the building. The team also keeps a list of partner orchestras, hostess services and photographers, and a wide choice of entertainment to pace a seminar or a reception.
History and setting
The château stands on the shaded banks of the Erdre, a river north of Nantes. The reception rooms occupy former stables and outbuildings of the estate, which explains the exposed beams and stone fireplaces. The site describes a place that is almost secret, away from stress, with a history and a refined atmosphere that suits focused work. A dedicated page tells the history of the château.
Getting there
The château is at La Poterie, 44240 La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, near Nantes. Boat access is possible from the center of Nantes, along the Erdre. A large private parking lot is available on the estate. For train and airport connections, ask the team when you send your request.
