Château de Montbraye hosts seminars, study days, team-building days, business lunches, product launches, weddings and family parties for up to 95 guests seated and 200 at a cocktail. Guests can stay on site in bed and breakfast rooms and suites for 56 people. The château stands in a 5-hectare estate at Parigné-l'Évêque, in the Sarthe department, a few kilometers from Le Mans.
Seminars and company events
The château offers its event rooms for executive seminars, company seminars, study days, receptions and product launches, and adapts the set-up to each activity. Rooms have Wi-Fi, and a projector is available. Outdoor work and breaks can use an outdoor marquee, the heated pool, the tennis court and the pétanque ground. A French billiards table is available indoors.
For team building, the château works with event agencies that can run sports activities, games and role plays alongside working sessions with lunch. The owners' team can handle the full organization of a seminar, which suits a company that wants a quiet and confidential setting close to Le Mans.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are organized with partner professionals. The team helps with planning, guest accommodation, the choice of caterer and menus, equipment rental and parking. Couples can hire the château for a weekend, with guests sleeping on site. Birthdays, family gatherings and cousins' reunions are hosted too, with a 64 m² outdoor marquee, a 300 m² lit terrace and the heated pool for the summer months.
Rooms and capacities
The main event space is a pair of connecting rooms of 52 m² and 41 m², fully restored. They can be opened into a single room and take 95 guests seated (about 100 on another page of the site) and up to 200 for a cocktail. A veranda of 88 m² adds a further space for a party or a buffet. Outside, the 64 m² marquee and the 300 m² lit terrace extend the reception into the park.
Accommodation
The château runs bed and breakfast rooms and suites that sleep up to 56 people, with period furniture and parquet floors, heating, private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi. A continental breakfast is served. Having beds for 56 on site lets a seminar group or a wedding party stay together for the whole event. Guests have access to the heated pool and terrace, the tennis court and the billiards room.
Catering
The château does not present an in-house restaurant for events. For weddings, the team helps couples choose a caterer and plan the menus, and seminar meals are arranged as part of the organization. Ask the team which caterers they work with.

The château was built in 1900 and has been renovated recently to receive events and guests. It sits at the heart of a 5-hectare wooded estate in the Sarthe countryside, near Mulsanne, Changé and Ruaudin, with lawns, a park and a pool terrace.
