Château de Terrides hosts study days, residential seminars, team-building programs, weddings and family celebrations. Its largest room, the Salle des Gardes, takes 240 people in theatre layout, 180 seated for dinner or 250 for a cocktail, and four smaller rooms take 70 to 150 in theatre. The château has 50 bedrooms on site. It stands on a 90-hectare estate at Labourgade, in the Tarn-et-Garonne, near Montauban and less than an hour from Toulouse.
Seminars and company events
The château sells four seminar formats. The half study day includes a welcome coffee, an equipped room, one break and lunch. The full study day adds a second break. The semi-residential seminar covers one meal and a night in a classic room with breakfast, and the residential seminar covers lunch, dinner, two breaks and the night. Rooms can also be hired on their own, with cocktail buffets, business dinners and entertainment added to order.
Team-building activities are booked on request: orienteering, team obstacle courses, cooking classes and archery. The wooded park, the French-style gardens and a fitness trail give room for breaks outdoors.
Weddings and receptions
The château hosts weddings, christenings, communions, birthday meals and family gatherings. The reception hall takes the dinner, a sunny terrace holds the aperitif, and a covered area serves if the weather turns. A space is set aside for children, and the wooded park can host outdoor ceremonies and photographs. A chapel on the grounds allows religious ceremonies. A professional kitchen is available and hosts may choose their own suppliers.

History and setting
The Terrides family appears in records from 993, and the castle dates back to the 13th century. In 1320 it was the political and military center of the viscounty of Terrides. François I visited on September 20, 1540. During the Wars of Religion royal troops took the castle in 1572 after a siege. It later passed to the Lévis-Mirepoix family and, in 1639, to Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully, whose name is given to one of the meeting rooms. The estate was turned into a tourist complex in 1987.
