Det Franske Hjørne hosts company parties of 40 to 85 guests, team-building days built around a cooking school, kick-offs, and meeting or training days for groups of about 12 to 50 people. It is a farm venue at Skovlundvej 12 in Skødstrup, just north of Aarhus, run by the French-born chef Bruno Lecanu.
Seminars and company events
The company offer on the official site has several formats. There is a French cooking school with wine tasting, a company party, a team-building cooking school, a meeting, course or training day, and a kick-off. In the cooking formats, your team prepares the meal together with the chef and then eats it. The site says the hosts have run more than 600 events over more than ten years, and it keeps the tone informal.
For meetings and courses, the venue provides a projector, a sound system and Wi-Fi. Food is served through the day. A sample schedule on the site runs from 8:30 to 15:30 and includes breakfast with coffee, tea, juice, bread, croissants and cheese, then lunch and a home-baked cake. Water, soft drinks, coffee, tea and juice are included during the day. The catering packages are set for groups of 12 to 20 and of 21 to 50 participants.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not present weddings as a named product. It does list receptions, birthdays, confirmations, Christmas parties, summer parties, barbecue parties and christenings. Before each event the chef talks through the plan with the host, and the menu is built together: a buffet, a barbecue or a café-style evening. A couple planning a wedding should ask directly whether the dates and the format fit.
Rooms and capacities
The party rooms take 40 to 85 guests. The official site does not name the individual rooms and does not give a separate capacity for the meeting space, so ask which room is assigned to your group size and layout. Confirm which outdoor space is available in your season.
Catering
Catering is the core of the offer. Bruno Lecanu trained as a cook in France, worked in Michelin-starred restaurants and as a private cook for French ministers before moving to Denmark in 1995. The kitchen serves French-inspired menus, among them a rustic autumn and winter menu for 2026 and a Christmas lunch menu. The venue also sells food to take away, which shows how much of the activity revolves around the kitchen. For a company event this means the meal is part of the programme, not an add-on arranged elsewhere.
History and setting
The venue sits on a farm in Skødstrup, close to the Risskov woodland area of Aarhus. The chef also paints, and his studio is on the same farm, so the place mixes a working kitchen, a studio and event rooms. The mood on the official pages is rustic and relaxed rather than formal.
Getting there
The address is Skovlundvej 12, 8541 Skødstrup. The site states that the venue is close to a motorway exit and that parking is free, which suits groups arriving by car or minibus. Public transport is not described on the official site, so check the connection from Aarhus before booking a day with a fixed start time. Bookings and questions go by phone or email, both listed on the site.
