Château des Broyers in La Chapelle-de-Guinchay, between Beaujolais and southern Burgundy, is an 18th-century house dedicated to company events. It offers ten meeting rooms from 15 m² to 230 m², seminar capacity from 2 to 300 people and 31 double bedrooms on site. Weddings and private events are also accepted.
Seminars and company events
The château says it has hosted more than 200 professional events a year for over 15 years. It handles residential seminars, training courses, board meetings, conventions, product launches, incentives and team building. A dedicated team follows each project from the first brief to the departure of the last guest, and the château sends a quote covering everything planned. The largest room, Lumière, measures 230 m² and takes 230 people in theatre layout. Découverte, at 125 m², takes up to 160 in theatre.
Weddings and receptions
The château also welcomes weddings, birthdays and alumni gatherings. The site does not state a wedding capacity. For receptions, the dining and cocktail spaces give a guide: Lumière seats 220 at tables, the restaurant areas seat 136, and the Terrasse du Chêne and park take 220 seated or 400 for a cocktail.
