Suitable and spectacular gala venues
For your prestige evenings or closing events, Orléans Loire Valley and the surrounding area offer a range of unique venues, combining charm, originality and capacity.
The national estate of Chambord
An exceptional historic setting less than an hour from Orléans, ideal for a royal gala dinner in one of the most stunning buildings of the Renaissance.
More than a residential palace or hunting lodge, it is a work of genius that has yet to reveal all its secrets, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981.
Organising an event at Chambord also means welcoming your guests to an incomparable, unspoilt natural setting, admiring authentic landscapes, exploring miles of hidden paths, having the chance to come across wild animals, strolling through the formal gardens designed under Louis XIV or discovering the permaculture vegetable gardens!
The Orléans Museum of Fine Arts
Located right in the heart of Orléans, at the foot of the cathedral, the Musée des Beaux-Arts offers 3,000 m² of exhibition space that can be fully privatised.
Whether it's for a cocktail party, a sit-down dinner or a "jukebox" tour (find the song that resonates with a work of art), this two-hundred-year-old museum - which will celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2025 - stands out for its modernity and modularity. It can accommodate up to 850 people in a unique cultural setting.
La Source Floral Park
A green and elegant setting, ideal for outdoor events or bucolic receptions.
or the other gardens of the Metropole
A variety of outdoor spaces can be used for cocktails, exhibitions or garden parties, depending on your requirements.
