Domaine de Clairval hosts weddings and private events of 80 to over 300 guests in four reception spaces, and sleeps 88 people on site. The estate stands in Argueil, in Seine-Maritime, in the heart of Normandy, in a park of 4 hectares. It is dedicated to weddings and private receptions and does not market itself for company meetings.
Weddings and receptions
The estate offers a turnkey wedding formula in which one team coordinates the reception. The formula covers privatization of the estate, hire of the room matching the guest count, furniture, tableware and white linen, ambient lighting with string lights along the beams, a projector with screen and two large televisions, an eight-piece cocktail, the Clairval menu, and service without a time limit. A minimum billing of 90 adults applies in high season.
The cocktail has six cold and two hot pieces per person. A twelve-piece version with four culinary stations can replace the starter. For the day after the wedding, three formulas are available: spit-roasted piglet, a barbecue with chips, or a brunch with a pancake station. Each includes table setup with the couple's own decoration, tableware, service and clearing.
The 4-hectare garden hosts open-air ceremonies, cocktails and moments between courses. The couple has a private 120 m2 space for getting ready, with a double whirlpool bath and a sauna.
Rooms and capacities
Four spaces make up the offer. La Grande Clairval is the largest and seats receptions from 80 to more than 300 guests. La Charretterie has exposed timber framing and stone walls. Le Manoir is smaller, with stone walls and a fireplace. La Halle opens onto the park and suits cocktails and outdoor moments. The estate also provides a car park of more than 200 spaces behind the buildings.
Accommodation
Eighty-eight beds are spread across rooms, gîtes and dormitories. One room is adapted for guests with reduced mobility. There is also La petite maison dans la prairie. Beds allow guests to stay on after the reception, and the day-after meals are served at the estate.
Catering
Catering is handled by the estate within the turnkey formula, which centers on the Clairval menu. Culinary animations can be added as options for the cocktail. The estate also lists approved suppliers for other services such as music and decoration.
History and setting
The site states 20 years of experience in receptions. The setting is rural, in the Normandy countryside, and the estate has been built around the park, the four reception spaces and the sleeping capacity.
Getting there
The address is 1 Route de Clairval, 76780 Argueil. Guests park at the rear of the estate, which keeps vehicles out of the wedding photos. Transport by train should be checked with the estate.
