Domaine de Gailhaguet hosts seminars, study days, conventions, team building and weddings for up to 109 seated or 150 standing guests. It has four equipped indoor rooms, a large terrace, a courtyard and a four-hectare park, and can sleep 41 people in 16 bedrooms on site. The estate is a family property at Verfeil, in Haute-Garonne, about 25 minutes from Toulouse.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells day meetings and residential seminars. A typical day runs from a welcome coffee through two work sessions, lunch and an afternoon break; a residential seminar adds dinner, a night on site and breakfast. Companies can swap a work session for a team-building activity such as a cooking workshop, relaxation sessions, games or sports challenges.
Three of the indoor rooms are on the ground floor of the restored farmhouse, around a large courtyard, and one opens onto the park. The park can also host outdoor exhibitions and product displays. Other uses listed include study days, conventions, exhibitions and Christmas parties. A tennis court, a pétanque ground, lounges and a pool are available between sessions. The hosts, Isabelle and Paul, coordinate the day and work with partner caterers, photographers, event agencies and entertainers.
Weddings and receptions
Gailhaguet sells weddings with the ceremony in the park, the cocktail on the terrace and dinner in the main hall. The Grand Ségur seats up to 109 for dinner and holds 150 for a cocktail. The Petit Ségur can become a children's area or a wet-weather backup. From May 1 to October 15, three pagodas are set up on the terrace in front of the house for cocktails. Couples and guests can prepare and stay in the gîtes and guest rooms.

History and setting
The main house dates from the 18th century and was remodeled during the Second Empire by an ancestor of the current owners. The family opened the estate to events after the weddings of three nephews and nieces there. The brick farmhouse was fully renovated in 2017, with local craftspeople and support from the Haute-Garonne tourism board, and the estate opened in 2018. The 15-hectare property includes century-old trees, a pond and views over Verfeil. It applies an environmental charter, including laundry handled by a local supported-employment workshop.
Getting there
