Château La Beaumetane hosts residential seminars, leadership meetings, study days, team building, product launches, client evenings and weddings for up to 120 guests. Every event has the estate on exclusive hire. The château stands among vines and olive trees on the D10 at Lançon-Provence, between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, with 20 bedrooms on site.
Seminars and company events
The château sells formats from a 10-person leadership meeting to a 50-person study day and a residential seminar over several days. Meeting rooms can be reconfigured, and smaller lounges take breakout groups. For a meeting, the venue lists up to 60 people in theatre layout and 24 in a U-shape; for a cocktail or buffet, up to 120. Equipment includes a projector, a large screen, Wi-Fi, flip charts and furniture, and the interiors are air-conditioned.
A typical two-day program runs from welcome coffee to a plenary session, lunch on site, breakout workshops, an activity or a tasting, cocktails and dinner at the château, and a night on site. Team-building activities are arranged on the estate or nearby with partner providers. A single contact person coordinates the program and the providers before the group arrives. The private car park takes about 70 cars, with coach access and two electric charging points.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are sold with exclusive hire, for up to 120 guests. The tree-shaded park suits an outdoor ceremony and the drinks reception, the evening can run late, and guests can sleep on site. Packages include furniture for the cocktail and dinner, a children's corner, lighting of the château and park, a full caterer's area and a night watchman. A bridal suite inside the château is reserved for the couple at weddings. The château also hosts anniversaries and christenings.
Rooms and capacities
The venue publishes figures by layout rather than by room: 60 in theatre, 24 in a U-shape and 120 for a cocktail or buffet. Outdoors, the shaded park, the pool area and the terraces add space for breaks, receptions and activities. Ask for the floor plan to match rooms to your program.
Accommodation
The former stables have been converted into 20 bedrooms rated to four-star standard, a short walk from the château through the park. One room is adapted for guests with reduced mobility and is a double only; the other 19 can be set as doubles or twins, and three can take an extra bed. The venue gives a total of 43 beds in the stables; the seminar pages state 45 beds in all. Each room has air-conditioning and its own bathroom, and a shared lounge serves small groups. Further hotels nearby can be suggested.
Catering
Meals are organized by the château around the program: structured lunches, dinners, cocktails and breaks. A full caterer's area is provided for weddings. Ask whether you work with the château's recommended caterers or your own.
History and setting
The château is recognizable by its red-brick facade and its glass roof. The family that runs it restored the building and its park, and it is set among vines and olive trees.
Getting there
The château is about 15 minutes from Marseille Provence airport and about 20 minutes from Aix-en-Provence TGV station. The venue states that Marseille and Aix-en-Provence are 15 and 20 minutes away by car or shuttle. Coaches can reach the car park.
