The Auberge de Tavel suits study days, small residential seminars, business lunches, family gatherings and small wedding meals, with a seminar room, a private dining room for up to 23 guests, a restaurant for 40 and 10 bedrooms. The inn stands on the Route Romaine in Tavel, in the Gard, about 20 minutes from Avignon, Orange and Uzès.
Seminars and company events
The seminar offer is built for small teams. The meeting room is bright, air-conditioned and looks onto the garden. A screen, a flipchart and Wi-Fi are included, and a television or projector can be rented. Groups can book the room alone for the day, add coffee breaks from ten participants, or take a study day that adds a three-course lunch with wine and coffee. Two residential formats add dinner, a night in one of the bedrooms and breakfast, and the bar serves the breaks. The heated pool and the garden give participants a place to step outside between sessions.
Weddings and receptions
The inn welcomes family meals, cousin reunions, business meals and small wedding meals and ceremonies. The private room, with bay windows over the garden, seats up to 23 guests, and the restaurant room takes up to 40. Menus follow the house sets, from a regional menu to a menu built around Tavel wines, and the kitchen can draw up a menu on request. A brochure for groups is available on the site.
Rooms and capacities
Seminar room: garden view, air-conditioned, capacity on request. Private room: up to 23 guests, bay windows onto the garden. Restaurant room: up to 40 guests, with exposed beams and a fireplace.
Accommodation
The inn has 10 renovated rooms and suites, each decorated in its own way in a simple Provençal style. A small seminar group or a wedding party can fill much of the house for one night.
Catering
The restaurant works in-house and is set in the former village school, with beams and a rustic fireplace. It serves lunch and dinner from Friday to Tuesday and closes on Wednesday and Thursday, which organisers should keep in mind when planning dates. Group menus are built from the house sets or tailored on request.
History and setting
The building was first an olive oil mill and then a boys' school before it became a hotel and restaurant. Tavel is a wine village known for its rosé, and the inn sits on the old Roman road through it, surrounded by vineyards.
Getting there
The address is 77 Route Romaine, 30126 Tavel. Avignon, Orange and Uzès are each about 20 minutes by road. Avignon has the nearest TGV station, and Avignon or Nîmes airports serve flights, with the last stretch by car or minibus.
