The Château de Sans Souci can host meetings, seminars, conferences, training sessions, product launches, company parties, team building days and weddings, for groups from 2 to 350 guests. Its private spaces range from 25 to 450 m². The château stands in Limonest, in the Techlid business park, less than 15 minutes from the center of Lyon, close to the Monts d'Or and the Beaujolais.
Seminars and company events
The château rents rooms for seminars and professional meetings of 2 to 350 participants. Its pages list working meetings, conferences, continuing education, product launches, year-end events, Christmas parties, roadshows and team building. For a roadshow, it offers meeting rooms of more than 100 m². The site sits inside Techlid, a business park on the edge of Lyon, so a local team can come for a half day without a long transfer. Lunch and breaks are cooked on site, and a seminar can end with a cocktail or a dinner on the terrace. The Salon de l'Orangerie inside the château is also used for exhibitions.
Weddings and receptions
The château hosts weddings, birthdays, christenings, bar and bat mitzvahs, engagement parties, wedding anniversaries and family meals, on weekdays and at weekends. Couples use the large garden, the terrace and the private car park. The Espace Maestro, 450 m² with a parquet dance floor, is the room for the dinner and the party.

Accommodation
There are no bedrooms at the château. The site says that three- and four-star hotels are about ten minutes' walk away.

History and setting
The château is a 17th-century house that has been converted into a reception venue. It stands in a garden with century-old trees and a pond. One page describes it as nearly 300 years old and recalls that Lyon families once used it as a country retreat. The garden and the terraces make it possible to move a part of the day outdoors from spring onward.
Getting there
The address is 260 Allée des Cyprès, 69760 Limonest, in the Rhône. The château is less than 15 minutes from the center of Lyon by road and close to Écully. Parking on site is free.
