Domaine de la Maison Forte can be hired in whole or in part for a work seminar of up to 50 people indoors, or for a private reception of up to 74 seated guests in the veranda and salons. Eighteen beds are available on site. The estate stands in Revigny-sur-Ornain, in the Meuse department of Lorraine, and is run by its owner, Céline.
Seminars and company events
The estate offers four work spaces and accepts groups of up to 50 people indoors, depending on the activity. It can be privatized completely or only in part, and participants can eat on site. Wifi covers the whole estate.
The format suits small teams who want a quiet setting: board retreats, creative workshops, discussion groups and team-building days. Collective activities nearby include hiking, canoeing, balloon flights, electric scooters and cycling. Requests are handled directly by the owner, who answers every day between 8 am and 8 pm.
Weddings and receptions
The estate is hired to a single reception at a time. The wedding formulas run from the day of the event, from noon until 4 am or noon the next day, or from the evening before at 5 pm until noon the day after. All include the veranda and salons, seating up to 74 guests with a children's area possible, the gardens and outdoor spaces, table and chair setup, and coordination throughout the reception.
Caterers, DJs and other suppliers must come from the estate's referenced list. Options include a secular ceremony, a brunch the next day for up to 50 people, a marquee for the cocktail hour, and a hosted dinner the night before with the fullest formula.
Rooms and capacities
Four rooms serve meetings. The dining room has a large rectangular table for up to 10 people and two large windows, and is available on weekdays from 9:30 am to 5 pm unless the site is privatized. The veranda is a bright, spacious room overlooking the estate. The large salon has stone walls and a heated tiled floor and can be left as a lounge or cleared as a dance floor. A terrace and garden corners with tables and chairs complete the offer.
