Domaine Malar hosts seminars, conferences, colloquia, residential training and weddings, with two reception rooms for 150 and 80 guests, a seasonal orangery for 200 and a 43-room hotel that sleeps 102. The estate is a converted farmhouse at Guillerval, in the Essonne, on the heights above the Juine valley, about 5 minutes from Étampes and 45 minutes from Paris.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells day meetings, residential seminars, conferences and colloquia, with rooms that can be set up for a small executive meeting or a group of several dozen. Video projection and sound can be provided. A residential seminar combines the meeting room, hotel rooms and meals in one place, so a group does not need to travel between suppliers. The team also arranges team building, cocktail dinners and award evenings. Staff speak French, English, Spanish and Tamil.
Weddings and receptions
The estate hosts civil and religious weddings, christenings, bar mitzvahs, communions, family reunions and birthdays. The two reception rooms suit religious ceremonies as well as dinners. For larger weddings, a seasonal orangery can be put up in the grounds, seating up to 200 guests. The hotel offers a bridal suite and family rooms for guests who stay the night.
Rooms and capacities
The main reception room measures 200 m² and takes 150 guests. A second room takes 80. The temporary orangery seats up to 200. Outside, the estate has terraces, courtyards, gardens and a meadow across two hectares of green space. Room names and meeting layouts are not published, so ask the team for the right set-up for your group.
Accommodation
The hotel has 43 rooms and can sleep up to 102 people. Room types include a bridal suite and family rooms with up to five beds. The hotel reception is open every day from 9 am to 11 pm. Pets are not allowed in the rooms or the restaurant. The estate is adapted for people with reduced mobility, and parking is free.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The restaurant, run by chef Antony, serves traditional French cooking with a modern touch, every day from noon to 2 pm and from 7 pm to 10 pm. The same kitchen caters weddings and company events on the estate and also delivers to events elsewhere, with buffets, cocktails and set menus.
History and setting
The estate is a former farm complex that has been restored and converted into a hotel, restaurant and reception venue. It stands on the heights of the Juine valley in the south of the Essonne, surrounded by countryside while remaining close to the town of Étampes and its shops. The grounds include terraces, gardens, an orangery area and a meadow.
