The Domaine de la Forêt d'Orient hosts day meetings, residential seminars, training sessions, conventions, team building and company evenings, for groups from a board of 8 to 150 people in theatre style and 200 at a standing cocktail. The four-star hotel stands on 70 hectares in the Parc naturel régional de la Forêt d'Orient, at Rouilly-Sacey, 20 km from Troyes.
Seminars and company events
The meeting floor is the core of the business offer. The two largest rooms, Saint-Andrews and Augusta, open into a single space of 200 square meters for a plenary of 150 in theatre style, a banquet of 110 or a cocktail of 200. A second set, Templiers, Barse and Ouzon, combines into 140 square meters for 132 in theatre style, and each part can also run alone as a breakout room. Amance seats a board of 8, and Les Chênes, on the third floor, takes 23 around a U-shaped table. The rooms have daylight and air conditioning. A projector, screen, flip chart, sound system and high-speed Wi-Fi are included, and the rooms are accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
The hotel lists more than 15 group activities. On site: golf initiation for up to 30, a nine-hole footgolf course, olympiads, a giant Cluedo, an escape game, a corporate film workshop, a wine tasting led by a wine merchant and a private spa session for up to 12. Nearby, groups can book canoeing on the Lac d'Orient for up to 30, Segway rides, electric scooters and a walk through the Montgueux vineyards with a champagne cellar visit. Transport to outside activities can be arranged. Evening formats include a dance party with a DJ, a casino night, a murder party and a karaoke quiz. The golf team also runs company scramble tournaments with a prize-giving and cocktail.
