Five hundred square metres, twenty oval tables, thirty-four rectangular ones: how to seat three hundred and fifty guests without it ever feeling like a function room.
A large room is not filled, it is composed. The Orangery covers five hundred square metres and holds three hundred and fifty guests, but how you occupy it decides the atmosphere.
The tables, first
You have twenty oval tables and thirty-four rectangular ones, with a hundred and seventy padded chairs. The two shapes do not tell the same story.
- Oval tables favour conversation: nobody sits at the end, everyone can see everyone.
- Rectangular tables allow long banquet rows, more striking beneath the chandeliers.
- Mixing them works well: rectangles down the middle, ovals along the sides.
Then the light
The tall glazed bays look onto the château. In daylight, that is the decor. Come evening, the blackout curtains close the room in on itself and the dance floor takes over.
"We dined facing the château, then the curtains closed and it became a different evening."
The terrace as a breathing space
The three hundred square metres of terrace are not an extra: they are part of the journey. Drinks before dinner, a pause between courses, a late cigarette under the festoon lights.
