Baumanière takes study days, residential seminars, team-building programs, product launches, gala dinners and private celebrations such as weddings, birthdays and christenings. The five-star Relais & Châteaux estate lies at the foot of the village of Les Baux-de-Provence, inside the Alpilles regional park, and covers 20 hectares. The site does not publish room capacities, so group sizes are agreed with the events team.
Seminars and company events
The professional offer is built around set formulas. A study day covers the meeting room, two breaks and lunch. A residential seminar adds dinner, a night in one of the estate's rooms and breakfast. A team-building version adds one activity to the residential program. The estate also lists cocktails, gala dinners, roadshows, training sessions and vehicle or product presentations among the events it hosts.
Activities can be added to a program: workshops with chef Glenn Viel and his teams, a sensory walk, an aperitif in the cellar of L'Oustau or in the kitchen of La Cabro d'Or, spa treatments and other signature experiences designed by the house. A dedicated events line handles requests for companies and agencies.
Weddings and receptions
Private events cover weddings, birthdays, family meals, christenings, cocktails, lunches and dinners. The estate has its own wedding page for celebrations in Les Baux-de-Provence. Couples can pair a dinner in one of the restaurants with rooms for family and close guests. From April to October, depending on the weather, a dinner can also be set in the garden.
Rooms and capacities
The one private room named on the site is the Salon Louis XV at La Cabro d'Or, used for meetings and group meals. The two restaurants, the wine cellar and the gardens extend what can be staged on the estate. Ask the events team for capacities and layouts, since the site does not list them.
Accommodation
Guest rooms on the estate are open to seminar attendees and wedding guests, and each one is decorated differently. Overnight stays are part of the residential and team-building formulas. The site does not state the total number of rooms.
Catering
Catering is handled in-house by the two restaurants. L'Oustau de Baumanière holds three Michelin stars, with Glenn Viel as executive chef, and serves creative, precise cooking. La Cabro d'Or, led by chef Michel Hulin, serves Provençal cuisine and offers a group menu. A five-course festive menu is offered to groups and seminars at the end of the year. The estate also runs a wine cellar with tastings and a chocolate shop on the Place des Artisans. Check opening days when planning: L'Oustau closes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and La Cabro d'Or closes on Mondays and Tuesdays between October 15 and April 30.
History and setting
The house began as a Provençal farmhouse that its founder turned into a hotel and restaurant, and the estate now counts some 80 years of history. It sits below the rocky spur that carries the village of Les Baux-de-Provence, in the limestone landscape of the Alpilles.
Getting there
The estate is at Mas de Baumanière, 13520 Les Baux-de-Provence, near Avignon. The house states that the trip from Paris takes about 2 hours 40 minutes by TGV high-speed train, followed by a short drive.
