The Domaine de la Fauconnie takes seminars, conferences, study days, showrooms, cocktails and weddings, with 80 people seated for a seminar, up to 200 for a reception and 300 for a cocktail in the orangery. The estate is hired exclusively by one group at a time. It sits in Campsegret, 12 km from Bergerac, in the Périgord Pourpre area of the Dordogne.
Seminars and company events
The owners rent the estate for seminars, conferences, exhibitions, showrooms, study days, advertising shoots, cocktails, concerts and music recording. For a seminar, 80 people can be seated. The orangery takes 300 guests for a cocktail, which suits a product launch or a client evening. The whole site is booked by one company, so a team has the park, the pool and the manor to itself. Technical equipment for meetings is not listed, so audiovisual needs should be checked with the owners.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings make up most of the estate's calendar. Receptions can be held outdoors in the park, by the pool, under the rotunda or in the orangery, and the estate states a capacity of up to 200 people for a wedding reception. The domain is hired in full for the weekend of the wedding. The park can host the drinks reception and the dinner outdoors, and the rotunda gives a covered option in rain. A caterer's room with a separate access is provided. A list of service providers who work regularly at the estate is shared with booked clients, and the owners help with last-minute requests.
Rooms and capacities
The orangery, built in the spirit of Gustave Eiffel's iron and glass architecture, is the main event space, taking up to 300 for a cocktail. The rotunda serves as a covered outdoor area. The park, the pool deck and its terrace complete the outdoor options. Indoor seminar seating is 80; the reception figure is 200.
Accommodation
The 18th-century manor has 11 bedrooms sleeping 25 people, so the couple, close family or a leadership team can stay on site. Spacious rooms and a heated outdoor pool with a terrace overlooking the estate are part of the stay.
Catering
The estate does not run its own kitchen for events. A caterer's room with a discreet access is provided, and the owners share their list of regular caterers and other providers.
