Domaine Athéna takes seminars, conventions and product launches for up to 400 people, weddings of the same size, and smaller gatherings of up to 80 in a separate room with its own bar. The venue stands on Chemin Clairandelle in Pitres, in the Eure department of Normandy, about 20 minutes from Rouen and 1 h 10 from Paris.
Seminars and company events
The business offer covers meetings, training days, study days, conferences, team building, product launches and cocktail receptions. The venue gives three capacity bands: up to 50 people for meetings and training sessions, up to 100 for study days and conferences, and up to 400 for conventions, cocktails and launches. Three rooms can be arranged to suit the format. Meals follow the program, from breakfast to lunch, dinner or a standing cocktail. With beds on site, a seminar can run over two days without moving the group to a hotel. A private car park with 200 spaces is free for participants.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings fill much of the calendar, alongside engagement parties, birthdays, christenings, baby showers and family meals. The large reception room takes the main dinner and the dancing, while the gardens serve for the drinks reception and photographs. The team also runs the vin d'honneur. Visits are arranged by appointment, seven days a week.
Rooms and capacities
The Grande salle de réception holds up to 400 guests and is the room for weddings, evening events, seminars and large gatherings. The Salle privatisée, with its bar, takes up to 80 guests for smaller or more private occasions. Outside, the gardens cover 12,500 square meters and face the Colline des Deux Amants. The estate was enlarged in 2026 with this second reception room, so two events of different sizes can be planned on the same site.
Accommodation
Guests can stay on site in eight rooms with 22 beds in total: six single rooms and two family rooms. The bridal suite, Le Tholos, sits in a tower with sculpted and gilded decoration, a reference to the ancient Greek architecture that inspires the whole venue. For a residential seminar, the beds can house speakers or a core team.
Catering
The venue works with its own in-house caterer, and the food is homemade. A typical reception opens with a drinks hour of sweet and savory bites, soft drinks, cocktails with and without alcohol, and punch. Guests then choose two starters and one of two menus, Gourmet or Prestige, followed by cheese, individual pastries and fruit salad. Table service, a welcome cocktail and live cooking on request complete the offer. Several packages exist: one gives access to the professional kitchen, another adds tables, chairs, themed decoration and tableware, and the all-inclusive Prestige option includes the caterer, decoration, soft drinks, table service and the cocktail hour.
History and setting
The buildings borrow from ancient Greek architecture, which gives the estate its name and the bridal tower its shape. The setting is rural Normandy, close to the Seine upstream from Rouen, with open lawns and planted gardens rather than a town square.
Getting there
Pitres lies southeast of Rouen. The venue lists road access from Rouen, Évreux, Le Havre, Vernon and Paris. Parking for 200 cars is on site, closed and secure.
