Château de Lalande hosts study days, residential seminars, presentations, product launches, incentives and cocktails, as well as weddings and family celebrations with the whole estate reserved. The 4-star château hotel stands at 57 route de Saint-Astier in Annesse-et-Beaulieu, in the Isle valley of the Dordogne, a few kilometers from Périgueux.
Seminars and company events
Meetings take place in Le Chai, a daylight room equipped with a screen, a video projector, a flipchart, a sound system and free Wi-Fi. An adjoining area serves for welcome, coffee breaks or a cocktail. The hotel builds programs to order: study days, residential packages with accommodation, incentive stays for small groups, working lunches and dinner cocktails. Its position near the A89 makes it a practical meeting point for teams coming from Bordeaux, Lyon or Clermont-Ferrand. Car and cycling rallies are also welcome.
Weddings and receptions
The château sells weddings, receptions and cocktails, with the option of reserving the whole estate. The park and the covered terrace face century-old trees, and the restaurant team handles the meal. Christenings, birthdays and family weekends are hosted on the same basis, with guests sleeping on site.
Rooms and capacities
Le Chai is the meeting room, with daylight and an adjoining reception area. The restaurant, with air conditioning, and its covered terrace in the park host meals and receptions. The 3-hectare park includes a garden, a pétanque court, wooden games and a swing. Capacities for each space are not published, and organizers should confirm numbers with the hotel.
Accommodation
The hotel has 17 air-conditioned bedrooms and suites, in five categories: Charme rooms of 16 m², Exclusive rooms of 23 m², Prestige rooms of 30 m² with park views, Junior Suites of 38 to 40 m² with a sitting area, and Suites. Interiors mix family furniture, old parquet floors, toile de Jouy and fabric-lined walls. Rooms are available from 4 p.m. and vacated by 11 a.m. The whole hotel is non-smoking.
Catering
Chef Yves Staebell runs the restaurant. He holds the Maître Restaurateur title, belongs to the Collège Culinaire de France, and the table is listed as a Table Remarquable by Teritoria. Vegetables come from the château's kitchen garden, picked the same morning, alongside produce from Dordogne farms. In fine weather, meals are served on the covered terrace facing the park.
History and setting
The house dates from the 18th and 19th centuries and keeps many original features. Catherine and Yves Staebell, who spent 15 years in luxury hotels before taking over, renovated it and run it as a château hotel. The park has century-old trees and a three-hundred-year-old wisteria over a pergola, and a heated outdoor pool is open from May to September. The Voie Verte cycle path along the Isle passes nearby. The hotel and restaurant are closed until mid-April 2027.
