Domaine de Conseillant hosts seminars, gala dinners, training days, general assemblies, Christmas parties, business lunches, vehicle presentations and weddings. Its two halls give 300 to 600 m² of space for 300 to 600 seated guests or 350 to 700 standing. The estate is at 12 rue de Conseillant in Cubzac-les-Ponts, Gironde, on the banks of the Dordogne, about 15 km from Bordeaux.
Seminars and company events
The halls are equipped for plenaries and conventions: wireless microphone, ceiling sound system, video projector and screen, a stage and a lectern, high-speed Wi-Fi and acoustic treatment. Heating and air conditioning are installed. The estate lists formats from training days and meetings to showrooms, corporate cocktails and vehicle launches, and the private car park holds more than 300 vehicles, which helps for large gatherings and product displays.
The grounds add outdoor options: a terrace with lawns, rows of vines, a meadow, a lake and the riverbank. A virtual tour of the spaces is available on the official site.
Weddings and receptions
The estate hands over the keys from Friday morning to Monday morning, and stays can be extended with extra weekdays. It does not impose suppliers, so couples choose their own caterer and providers. Secular ceremonies can take place in the Salle Cathédrale, which also takes the cocktail when the weather turns. The park, the vines and the Dordogne banks serve for photographs and outdoor receptions.
Rooms and capacities
The Salle des Vendangeurs covers about 300 m². It keeps 18th-century stone walls and a beam the estate says comes from the Eiffel bridge, and it was renovated in 2015. The Salle Cathédrale, also about 300 m², has stone walls and a high ceiling. Used together, the spaces reach 600 m², with 300 to 600 seated or 350 to 700 standing.
Accommodation
The estate offers 24 beds on site in studios and gîtes. Named studios include the Ambassadeur, about 25 m², the Bellevue, about 30 m² with exposed stone, and the Nuptiale, about 30 m² with a bathtub, each with a 160 cm bed. For larger groups, guests stay in hotels around Bordeaux.
Catering
The Salle des Vendangeurs has an equipped caterer's kitchen with a cold room, stainless steel worktop, wine cellar, freezer and ice machine. The estate does not cook itself; the client's caterer works from this kitchen, which suits a seated dinner of several hundred guests.
History and setting
The buildings date from the late 18th century and have been fully restored. The estate once belonged to the Cousteau family. It covers 12 hectares by the Dordogne, keeps part of its original vineyard, and has a terrace, a lake and a meadow, where two donkeys, Houpette and Fanny, live.
Getting there
Cubzac-les-Ponts is about 15 km north of Bordeaux, close to the bridges over the Dordogne. The private car park takes more than 300 vehicles, so coaches and guest cars can park on the estate itself. Bordeaux Saint-Jean station and Bordeaux-Mérignac airport are the arrival points for guests coming by train or plane.
