Domaine du Château des Pères hosts seminars, conferences, product launches and weddings for 5 to 1,200 guests, with a 42-room hotel on the estate. It stands in Piré-Chancé, 25 minutes from Rennes and about two hours from Paris, inside a 31-hectare sculpture park. Spaces range from 30 to 1,000 m².
Seminars and company events
The Seminar Center opened in 2022 inside the château, which the site dates to the 18th century. It has seven renovated seminar rooms, modular and lit by daylight, with current technology. The smallest is a 30 m² breakout room for workshops. For larger gatherings, the fully glazed Grand Orangery, 1,000 m², can hold up to 1,200 people. The estate lists meetings and study days, conferences and conventions, product launches, festive events and retirement parties, and team building as formats. A dedicated team helps with private-space booking, room hire, catering and accommodation. Teams can also take part in a sculpting activity with the estate's artists, from two hours to a full day.

It also suits birthdays, christenings and vow renewals. A full weekend can be run on site, from the cocktail to the brunch the next day, including the secular ceremony, dinner and dance. Wedding meals are provided by one of six approved partner caterers. Two named contacts support couples, and one is on site on the day.
