Château de Gourdan

A château reception near Annonay

Château de Gourdan stands at 1525 Route de Gourdan in Saint-Clair, in the Ardèche Verte area of France. Around four kilometres from Annonay, the property combines an eighteenth-century residence, an older wing, formal gardens and dedicated reception buildings. The event rooms are offered for hire from 1 April to 31 October. The venue can accommodate weddings, family celebrations and professional gatherings, with arrangements agreed with the team.

The Grandes Écuries and Orangery

The Grandes Écuries occupy the ground floor of one wing of the château. The official website describes 280 m² of adaptable vaulted rooms, including a former tack room. It advertises seating for 180 to 200 people depending on the layout. Ask the venue to approve a plan that allows comfortable movement around the tables, service areas, any entertainment and the dance floor.

The Orangery is a separate 300 m² space advertised for drinks receptions of up to 350 standing guests. This is not a seated dinner capacity, and the two rooms’ capacities should not automatically be added together. Depending on your programme, the spaces may accommodate different stages of the celebration. Confirm which rooms are included, the access routes and wet-weather arrangements during your viewing.

Gardens and reception facilities

The formal gardens and mature trees provide an outdoor setting for welcome drinks. The château advertises tables and 300 chairs, a catering pantry, toilets, a children’s space, a wall screen and WiFi. The pantry should be distinguished from a production kitchen: check the available equipment, delivery arrangements and cleaning requirements with your caterer.

A night dog handler is also listed among the venue’s provisions. Their presence, hours and inclusion in your package should be specified in the offer. The directories consulted describe a free choice of caterer; confirm the conditions for your own event, including drinks, staffing, tableware and music hours.

Four apartments for an overnight stay

The official accommodation offer comprises three furnished apartments for four to six people, including a three-level apartment in the square tower, plus a fourth unit called Le Castel, advertised for up to eight people. Confirm the sleeping arrangements, allocation and accommodation actually reserved. A swimming pool and games room are presented as facilities for overnight stays; access during a reception depends on the arrangements agreed with the château.
