Les Jardins de Coppélia hosts seminars, team-building days, meetings, business meals and afterwork events, with a heated tent for up to 60 people and a meeting room for 15. For weddings and private celebrations the whole estate can be privatized. The four-star hotel occupies a Normandy manor in a 7-hectare park at Pennedepie, on the coast a few minutes from Honfleur.
Seminars and company events
Two spaces are set aside for business groups. La Pommeraie is a daylit meeting room for up to 15 people. Instead of a fixed boardroom table it has chairs that swivel through 360 degrees, so a group can turn from a presentation to a discussion without moving furniture. The Vieux Hêtre tent stands in the park and takes up to 60 people. Its layout can be changed to suit the session, it is heated, and it is open from March to the end of October.
A sales contact, Marie, handles seminars, meetings, business lunches and dinners, and afterwork events, and builds a program that combines work sessions, meals, bedrooms and spa time. A seminar brochure is available from the hotel.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings, birthdays, christenings and family gatherings. For an event of this kind the estate can be booked in full, with 7 hectares of gardens, several spaces, 27 bedrooms, the restaurants and the spa. For larger guest lists, temporary outdoor structures are put up in the park. The hotel does not publish a maximum number of wedding guests, so give your expected numbers when you ask.
Rooms and capacities
The Vieux Hêtre tent takes up to 60 people and La Pommeraie up to 15. The restaurant terrace looks over the orchards toward the sea. No other room capacities are published.
Accommodation
The hotel has 27 bedrooms and suites in five categories. Teeny rooms are the most compact, followed by Cuty and Cosy rooms. The Roomy suites offer larger volumes, and the Biggy suite works like a small apartment with a separate lounge, a large bed and a bathroom with a tub. Bedding comes from the French maker Le Comptoir du Matelas, and each room holds cider and apple juice from the estate's own orchard, bottled by the Manoir d'Apreval.
The spa, run with the Garancia brand, has a sauna, a hammam, a jacuzzi, a herbal tea corner and a relaxation area, with massages and treatments. Hotel guests have free access. In summer a heated outdoor pool and a Tiki bar are open.
Catering
Le Capucine is the hotel's gourmet restaurant, cooking local produce, with a terrace over the orchards and the sea in fine weather. Le P'tit Yard is a tapas bar for sharing plates and drinks, and a brunch is served every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For company groups, the hotel arranges business lunches and dinners around the work sessions.
History and setting
The hotel is a Normandy manor in the Pays d'Auge, renovated with contemporary design. It sits on the edge of the Bois du Breuil woods, among orchards, with views of the sea. The same team runs La Ferronnerie, La Maison du Corsaire and Les Ateliers.
Getting there
The address is 478 Route du Bois du Breuil, 14600 Pennedepie, in the Calvados. Honfleur is a few minutes away by road, and Deauville and Trouville are close by along the coast. The site gives no travel times or transfer details, so ask the hotel about arrival logistics for a group.
