Domaine de la Haie des Granges hosts seminars, study days, corporate cocktails, presentations and weddings, from 20 to 180 people in meeting layouts and up to 150 at a seated dinner. It has three event halls, 24 bedrooms, a restaurant and a spa. The estate stands in Ménilles, in the Eure, between Pacy-sur-Eure, Giverny and Vernon, five minutes from the A13 motorway.
Seminars and company events
The estate rents three seminar rooms with video projector, flipchart and interactive screen available. Three packages are offered. The half study day includes the room, a welcome coffee with pastries, a coffee break and a three-course lunch. The full study day adds an afternoon break. The residential package adds a three-course dinner and a night in a standard room. For sales staff on the road, the hotel also sells an overnight package with dinner and breakfast.
Groups can add a wine tasting in the cellar of the Le Millésime restaurant, a tennis match on the estate court or time at the spa. Cultural visits to Giverny and the châteaux of the area are easy to arrange as an afternoon outing.
Weddings and receptions
The estate began as a reception venue, and it still hosts weddings, christenings and birthdays. For a wedding, the Orangerie usually serves for a secular ceremony or the drinks reception, opening onto a 1,000 m² rose garden with a gazebo. Dinner and dancing take place in La Grange, which has a stage above the dance floor. The estate offers several formulas, from room hire only to full packages with catering, staff, accommodation and private use of the estate on the evening. All bedrooms are held for the couple until one month before the event.
