Domaine Beausoleil hosts day seminars, leadership meetings, team days, garden parties and weddings for up to 120 guests indoors and 150 in the park. There is no accommodation on site. The house stands in a 7.5-hectare wooded park at 1664 Route d'Aussonne in Merville, in the Hauts Tolosans area, about 20 minutes from Toulouse.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells day formats: a leadership day, a seminar day and a garden party for teams. The owner, Elsa Laroque, lives on site and acts as project manager for each event, from the first call to the day itself. A typical seminar starts with coffee, moves into the lounges, continues over lunch and leaves time for a walk in the park. Team-building activities are offered, including a program built around corporate social responsibility, and the estate publishes its own CSR charter.
The venue is 8 minutes from the MEETT, the Toulouse exhibition and convention center, which makes it a practical address for a side meeting or a client dinner during a trade fair. Parking takes about 70 cars.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are sold for up to 120 guests, children included. The couple has the park, the main lounge with its furniture already in place, and the gardens for the ceremony or the drinks reception. Nobody sleeps on site, so the estate works with partner hotels nearby; ask for the list when you book. Family celebrations such as anniversaries and reunions are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
Three indoor rooms and the park are available. The Salon Serena covers 260 square meters and takes up to 120 people. It has large bay windows and a connected touch screen, and it opens onto its own garden on the pool side, reserved for the group using it, with a 110-square-meter terrace and a pétanque court. The Salon Victoria (45 square meters, up to 14 people) is a meeting room with a sofa corner, a connected TV with a video-conference system, fiber internet and flip charts. The Salon Carla (35 square meters, up to 10 people) has a screen with HDMI input, Wi-Fi, a flip chart and wall boards. Victoria and Carla are often booked together for breakout groups or for lunch on a rainy day.
Outdoors, the park takes up to 150 people. Standing drinks can be served under a chestnut tree and seated lunches under the plane trees. A small dining room that opens onto the terrace suits lunch for a small group.
Catering
Meals are built on local produce, and the formulas are set with the team when you book. Tea and coffee are available in the smaller rooms. Ask the estate how catering is organized for an evening event or a wedding, and whether you may bring your own caterer.
History and setting
Elsa and Alexandre bought the property to live there and raise their family; the two smaller lounges carry the names of their daughters, Carla and Victoria. A long drive lined with oaks leads from the gate to the house. The park mixes many species of trees and plants and includes a pond. Groups using the Salon Serena have the pool-side garden to themselves and do not cross other groups.
Getting there
Merville lies north-west of Toulouse. The estate is about 20 minutes from the city center and about 15 minutes from Blagnac, where Toulouse's airport stands. With 70 parking spaces on site, most groups arrive by car or by coach.
