Domaine de Puygiraud sur l'Anglin, in Saint-Pierre-de-Maillé, hosts seminars, company retreats, weddings and festivals for up to 210 guests in its reception halls. The estate has up to 289 beds and a caterer's kitchen rated for 500 covers. It surrounds the Château Rose, in a 15 hectare park beside the Anglin river, where the Vienne meets the Indre.
Seminars and company events
The estate lists company seminars and retreats next to wellness retreats, workshops, cultural events and film shoots. Two large adjoining reception halls, with a combined capacity of 210 guests, serve for plenary sessions, dinners and evening events. Outbuildings and the grounds add space for breakout groups, and tents or marquees can be set up outdoors for larger formats, depending on the season. With beds on site, a residential programme over several days is possible for large groups.
The reference list on the official site mixes companies, federations, associations, a municipality and festival organisers, which shows the range of formats the team handles.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and private celebrations come first in the list of formats. The halls sit inside the château, the park runs along the river, and a marquee can extend the reception outdoors. The team works with each organiser on the project and the estate describes its approach as tailor-made.
Rooms and capacities
The two reception halls are contiguous and classified as a fourth category public-access building (ERP). Together they take 210 guests. The caterer's kitchen is fully equipped and can serve up to 500 people, which matters when a marquee increases the guest count beyond the halls.
Accommodation
The estate lists 289 beds in total. Five detached pavilions each sleep up to 14 people, and one of them is accessible to guests with reduced mobility. Two dormitories add 35 beds and 8 beds. The pavilions and dormitories account for 113 of the 289 beds, so ask which other buildings make up the total.
Catering
The fitted professional kitchen is made available to the organiser, which points to an outside caterer. The official pages do not name an in-house caterer.
History and setting
The first mentions of the château date from the 12th century. It stands on the left bank of the Anglin in a Natura 2000 zone, and its present appearance comes mostly from 19th-century alterations. The Château Rose is being renovated and is planned to have more than 40 bedrooms and a large reception hall. The Brenne regional nature park lies nearby, as do La Roche-Posay and its thermal centre and Angles-sur-l'Anglin, a listed most beautiful village of France.

The estate is at 1 Puygiraud, 86260 Saint-Pierre-de-Maillé. The official site gives no rail or airport details, so ask the team for transfer advice.
