Château de Longue Plaine hosts company seminars, weddings and private receptions for 10 to 200 guests in Sorigny, in the Touraine, 15 km from Tours. The estate covers more than 500 hectares and offers two dining rooms of 170 square meters each, a large kitchen for caterers and three bedrooms on site.
Seminars and company events
The estate promotes itself for corporate seminars, business trips and professional gatherings as well as private parties. A team can work and eat in the large reception hall, then step outside into the courtyard of honor and the French garden. The hall has a sound system and a large screen for presentations and videos, and round tables and chairs are supplied. The restored barn gives a second room of the same size, useful for a plenary session, a standing reception or an alternative layout. The official site does not list meeting layouts or seated numbers for working sessions, so ask the owners which format they recommend for your group.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a main use of the estate. The ceremony or the cocktail can take place in the French garden among the roses, in the courtyard of honor, or along the riding alleys under the catalpa trees, where buffets can also be set up for the reception drink. Dinner is served in the 170 square meter reception hall, which has a large fireplace, or in the Grange Talleyrand, a restored barn with an exposed timber frame, new lighting and a bar that also works as a cocktail space in bad weather. The estate also hosts birthdays and family celebrations.
Rooms and capacities
The reception hall and the barn each measure 170 square meters. The estate states a range of 10 to 200 guests for weddings and receptions. The courtyard, the garden and the alleys extend the indoor rooms for cocktails, group photographs and outdoor moments between sessions.
Accommodation
Three bedrooms are available at the château, recently renovated in a modern, restrained style around the reception courtyard. Each has its own bathroom. For larger groups, most guests will need lodging nearby, in Tours or in the surrounding villages of the Loire Valley.
Catering
The estate does not run its own restaurant. Caterers work in a large, fully equipped kitchen next to the reception hall, so you choose the caterer that fits your event and your guest numbers, and the kitchen gives the team room to prepare every course on site.
History and setting
The château dates from 1089 and was rebuilt in the 18th century. It stands in the Loire Valley, among the royal châteaux of the region. The grounds include the courtyard of honor, a French garden with a rose garden, and wooded riding alleys. Walking and cycling routes cross the 500 hectares, which gives groups something to do between meetings and meals.
Getting there
Sorigny is 15 km from Tours and close to exit 21.1 of the A10 motorway, which makes the château simple to reach by car from Tours, Paris or Bordeaux.
