Having to organize a lunch for about sixty guests, I remembered the beautiful orangery of the Château de Castex, located on the castle lawn, with its kitchen and outbuildings.
Monsieur de Saint Pastou, the owner, agreed and also found a good cook for the traditional poules au pot (chickens in a pot), and he offered us an aperitif made with the house Armagnac.
It was a charming day, with a delicious lunch, plenty of space for the children to run around, and beautiful weather.
The location is truly ideal for this type of gathering: we're facing the tower, surrounded by flowers, and very easy for the caterers, who set up their trucks behind the kitchen.
For dessert, the host offered us a tour of the winery. For most of the guests who weren't from the region, it was a great discovery! Don't hesitate to choose this truly charming chateau for a cocktail lunch or dinner; it's pleasant and relaxing, and the evening lighting is also very impressive.
Next time, we'll probably have twice as many guests, and in that case, the owner of this charming place told us, we'll set up tables on the lawns!Having to organize a lunch for about sixty guests, I remembered the beautiful orangery of the Château de Castex, located on the castle lawn, with its kitchen and outbuildings.
