Domaine de la Fage hosts seminars, conferences, business dinners and product launches for up to 250 seated guests, or 300 standing, in two reception halls on a hillside estate in Noailles, in the Corrèze department. The owners close the estate to other groups for the length of a corporate event, and a chef-caterer works on site.
Seminars and company events
The estate states that more than 250 people can attend a one-day professional seminar. La Grange, on the upper floor, works as the meeting room, with a bar corner for the welcome breakfast and the coffee breaks. Les Ecuries, on the ground floor, is laid out as the lunch room and as the dinner space at the end of the day. Both halls have a large LED screen, wifi and furniture on site. Les Ecuries adds a removable stage and an artists' dressing room, useful for a product launch, a conference or an evening show.
The hosts, Léa and Mickael, coordinate some suppliers for you and suggest activities on the estate and nearby: an escape game, rugby golf, inflatable games, an adventure park or a cooking workshop led by the estate's chef. The park and the pool terrace are reserved for your group during the rental.
Weddings and receptions
The owners rent the whole estate for weddings, lodging included, and have organized them for about ten years. A secular ceremony can take place in the park, the drinks reception beside the pool, dinner in Les Ecuries or La Grange, and a brunch the next day. Private parties of about 50 guests or more, such as christenings, birthdays or retirement parties, can book La Grange for the day.
Rooms and capacities
La Grange covers 180 m2. It seats 110 and takes up to 160 for a standing banquet, with a minimum of about 50 guests. Its oak frame, shaped like an upturned boat hull, is listed as a historic monument. The room is air-conditioned and has a fixed bar and a DJ area. Les Ecuries covers 300 m2 under stone vaults that run 35 meters. It seats 250 and takes 300 standing. A staircase links the two halls for very large events. The pool kiosque, with a covered open kitchen, suits 40 to 50 seated guests.
Accommodation
The estate has two gîtes and five guest rooms. They are included when the whole estate is rented, and are meant for close family and witnesses at weddings. A private car park holds about 200 vehicles and accepts coaches.
Catering
The chef-caterer cooks on site: breakfasts, fruit baskets, lunches, cocktails with culinary stations, or served dinners. The wedding brunch can range from a simple breakfast to a cold buffet or a continental brunch. For private parties, menus take vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan requests into account.
History and setting
The estate dates from the 16th century and is listed as a historic monument. It stands on a hill, reached by a track of about 500 meters through woods, in 3 hectares of landscaped grounds. A guard tower from the original château overlooks the round pool.
Getting there
The estate is 2 km from the A20 motorway and close to the A89. Brive Vallée de la Dordogne airport is five minutes away, and Brive railway station is fifteen minutes by car.
