Château de la Rose hosts seminars, study days, team-building events, weddings and family receptions in three connecting reception rooms, with a park and a terrace reserved for the group. Guests can sleep on site in 15 bedrooms, split between the château and a gîte close by. The château stands at 1 Puy d'Auzon in Cluis, in the Indre, in the center of France, near Châteauroux and Argenton-sur-Creuse.
Seminars and company events
The three rooms run in a row and can be set up for a talk, working groups or a meal. The château provides a projector, a 120-inch screen, a sound system and a microphone. The team handles the rest of the day on request: a welcome breakfast, coffee breaks, meals and cocktails, built around the group's program. The park and the terrace are private during the event, for a cocktail outdoors or an activity between sessions.
With 15 bedrooms on site, a seminar can run over several days without moving participants. The owners, Laetitia and Frédéric, run the house and handle bookings directly.
Weddings and receptions
The château sells weddings, with ceremonies possible in the house or the grounds, a cocktail in the park or on the terrace overlooking it, and dinner in the reception rooms. There is no time limit on the party. The couple and close family can stay in the château's rooms and suites, and other guests in the gîte. The house also takes birthdays, christenings, baby showers, retirement parties and family reunions.
Rooms and capacities
The three reception rooms connect to one another and can be used together or apart: conference, workspace and dining room. The château does not publish their size or seating capacity, so ask for the figure for your layout. Outside, the park and the terrace add space for a cocktail or a group activity.
Accommodation
The château holds six rooms and suites, ranked five épis by Gîtes de France: the George Sand room, the Royale room, the Baccara suite, the Suite de la Tour, the Black and White Pop suite and the Élégance suite. Each is decorated differently and comes with a walk-in shower, a freestanding bath or a balneo bath. Some suites have a lounge or a second bedroom in the tower.
The gîte, a short walk from the château, covers 300 square meters with nine double bedrooms, four shower rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a lounge and a private terrace. Its walls are covered in Virginia creeper and it has a double-revolution staircase. Breakfast can be delivered to the gîte as an option.
Catering
The château arranges meals for events: breakfast, breaks, lunches, dinners and cocktails. The site does not say whether the food comes from an in-house cook or a partner caterer.
History and setting
The estate was a medieval fief held by several families, including the d'Areau family until 1778. In 1832 the Saint-Martin family bought it, and Étienne de Saint-Martin, mayor of Cluis and member of parliament, launched its rebuilding. The present château was completed in 1876 to plans by Alfred Dauvergne, an architect of the Indre, in neo-Renaissance style. It has a central tower framed by turrets and an open gallery on a large terrace, with two different façades. The current owners bought it in 2021 and have restored the rooms and suites as a family project.
Getting there
Cluis lies in the Indre, south of Châteauroux and east of Argenton-sur-Creuse. The château can be reached by car; ask the owners for directions from the nearest station.
