Domaine d'Orgival hosts seminars, product launches, trade shows, general meetings, year-end parties and weddings for up to 450 guests. Four rooms, a 300 m² terrace and more than 3 hectares of grounds give room for both large conventions and small working meetings. The estate stands on the heights of Trosly-Loire, in the Aisne department, with a view over the Oise valley.
Seminars and company events
The estate takes company events à la carte or turnkey: seminars, meetings, product launches, trade shows, general meetings, end-of-year parties, incentives and team building. The largest space, La Grange, takes up to 450 people and can be laid out to match the format of the event. Le Château, a room for 150 at a professional event, opens directly onto the terrace and the gardens. Two newer rooms, Côté Cour and Côté Jardin, take 90 people each and suit a smaller meeting, a workshop or a breakout session. All spaces are connected to the internet; organizers bring their own presentation equipment.
The grounds can be used for outdoor structures, fireworks or even first flights, and the team helps set up the frame for each event.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, christenings, bar mitzvahs, birthdays and family celebrations are the other half of the estate's business. La Grange adapts to the number of guests, up to 450. For a smaller party, Le Château takes 250 at a cocktail and opens onto the terrace. Côté Cour and Côté Jardin add space for very large cocktails or a separate room for children's meals, and they can be hired on their own for a small family event. Lay ceremonies can be held in the grounds. A bridal room of more than 40 m², with a large bathtub and walk-in shower, is reserved for the couple.

Catering
The estate works with a list of partner caterers, published on its website. Catering is booked through them rather than by an in-house kitchen.
History and setting
The estate is a family story. After the farm was bombed at the end of the First World War, the Lemoine family rebuilt it on the heights of Trosly-Loire, using stone from the quarry next to it, and the work was finished in 1924. On June 5, 1940, the village lay on the front line of the Battle of the Ailette, and bullet marks are still visible on the south and east façades. In 1990, Pierre Lemoine's grandsons Bruno and Thierry opened the house to private and professional receptions. Today his great-granddaughter Gwennaëlle runs the estate.
The estate is managed with an eye on resources: rainwater feeds the toilets and the gardens, lighting is LED, mowing is done by electric robots, solar panels cover the south-facing roofs and most suppliers are local.
