Domaine de Bois Roger hosts seminars, team-building days, incentives, company Christmas parties, shoots, weddings and family reunions. Its largest room, La Grange, seats 320 and takes 659 standing, the Orangerie seats 150, and the manor and outbuildings sleep 77. The whole estate can be hired. It stands in the countryside at Cléville, in the Pays d'Auge in Normandy, on a park of 5 hectares with century-old trees and three ponds.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells seminars, afterwork evenings, team building, incentive and client events, company Christmas parties and filming. La Grange works as the plenary room: it can be split in two with an acoustic blackout curtain, has two fixed video projectors, a modular stage, heating and sound, and tables and chairs are supplied. The Orangerie takes a second group or a lunch, and La Volière, a 200 square meter lounge, serves as a breakout space. Fiber Wi-Fi, private parking and cleaning are included.
For team building, the 5-hectare park, a padel court, a heated pool and a play area with pétanque, volleyball and football goals are available. Groups can use the estate's list of local partners or bring their own suppliers.
Weddings and receptions
The estate offers weddings, christenings, bar and bat mitzvahs, birthdays, cousin reunions and cocktails, with a full private hire. A typical wedding uses the Orangerie for the drinks reception, up to 150 seated, and La Grange for dinner and dancing. A 17th-century chapel stands on the estate. A babysitting service is offered for private events, and pets are accepted.

History and setting
The manor dates from the 17th century and has been restored. Director Jacques Perrin developed his film Winged Migration (Le Peuple migrateur) here, which won the César for best editing in 2002. He raised storks and geese on the estate for the shoot, La Grange housed the microlight aircraft used for filming, and La Volière was the nursery where the birds were imprinted. Storks still stop in the park. The current owner, entrepreneur Valentine Lambert, opened the estate for gatherings and events.
