Le Grand Format covers an annual general meeting, a conference or a networking event for up to 130 people. Custom programs are also possible. Fiber Wi-Fi runs across the estate. Breaks can move to the park, the pool or the sauna, and the team arranges activities such as a murder party, wine tasting, a cooking workshop or stand-up comedy.

Weddings and receptions
