Château de la Forêt in Le Cellier is a venue for corporate seminars, management committee meetings, company evenings and weddings. It offers a ground-floor reception hall for 300 guests at a cocktail and 200 seated, an auditorium for 100 people, three meeting rooms and 50 beds on site, in a 20-hectare park with a pond and an old forest, in the Nantes-Saint-Nazaire area.
Seminars and company events
The château sells seminars, company evenings and management committee meetings. Plenary sessions run in the auditorium, which seats 100 and is equipped with a sound system and a laser projector. Three meeting rooms of 50 m² each handle workshops and breakout groups. The official site describes them as bright, with views of the park and audiovisual equipment.
For receptions and breaks, the ground-floor hall measures 200 m² and opens onto an adjoining terrace facing the park. The Orangerie and its covered porch add 150 m². The park leaves room for outdoor team building during a multi-day stay. The château is a member of the Nantes-Saint-Nazaire convention bureau and of the Séminaire Collection network. A business brochure can be downloaded from the site.
Weddings and receptions
The same ground-floor hall serves weddings: 300 guests at the cocktail and 200 seated for the dinner. The terrace and the park host outdoor ceremonies and drinks. A large car park is on site, and the team recommends suppliers on request. A separate brochure covers private events, and reviews from past couples are linked on mariage.net and Google.
Rooms and capacities
The venue lists an auditorium for 100 people, three meeting rooms of 50 m² each, a 200 m² reception hall, a terrace, and the Orangerie with its 150 m² covered porch. Seated and cocktail figures are given for the hall only. Ask for the floor plan, which the site offers, to match each space to your format and group size.
Accommodation
The château sleeps 50 guests on site. For a larger group, the owners have an agreement with a nearby hotel at negotiated rates. Staying on site suits a residential seminar, where the team works, eats and sleeps in the same place, and a wedding weekend where guests stay together.
Catering
The official site mentions several catering options for multi-day bookings but does not name a caterer or describe the formats. Ask at the quote stage whether the house offer applies or whether you may bring your own caterer.
History and setting
The estate pairs the château with a 20-hectare park, a pond and an old forest. The site also presents the estate as an ecological site and offers a 360-degree virtual tour online, which helps a first selection before a visit.
