Seminars, team building days, product launches, retirement parties and weddings can be held at the Domaine de Neuville, whose main hall seats 120 guests for a meal and takes 180 for a standing reception. A second, smaller room in the manor suits groups of up to 30 at table or 70 standing. The estate stands in Domagné, between Rennes and Vitré, about 20 minutes east of Rennes, in a wooded park of nearly 1.5 hectares.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells professional events of several kinds: seminars, team building, product launches, staff meals and retirement parties. Groups have two distinct areas, one for the working sessions and one for relaxed time together. The main hall opens directly onto a terrace, which helps with breaks and outdoor lunches. The estate says it provides audiovisual equipment, and the 30 beds on site make a residential seminar over two or three days possible.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a large part of the estate's business. The park has shaded outdoor areas for a ceremony and a drinks reception, the stone walls of the barn give the hall its character, and the manor has a bridal suite with a balcony. Guests can stay on site, and the swimming pool is open for a relaxed day after the wedding. The estate also organizes its own wedding fair.
Rooms and capacities
The reception hall was created in the former barn. It takes 20 to 120 guests for a banquet and 20 to 180 for a cocktail reception, with direct access to the terrace.
The manor room covers 50 square meters, with exposed beams, half-timbering and terracotta tiles. It takes 10 to 30 guests for a banquet and 10 to 70 for a cocktail; the professional page gives up to 50 for a group event. It works as a breakout room, a board meeting room or a venue for a small dinner. A kitchen equipped for 30 people serves this room.
Accommodation
The estate has 30 beds in total, split between three independent cottages in the outbuildings and five bedrooms in the manor. The whole set can be booked with the event, so a seminar group or wedding guests can stay without driving home.
Catering
The estate works with a caterer, Saveurs à Tout Prix, and has built an extension of the kitchens for the caterer's use. Ask the team whether another caterer can be brought in.
History and setting
The manor of La Haute-Neuville dates from the fifteenth century. It belonged in turn to the Neuville, Séneschal, Poix, Visdelou and Rosnyvinen families, who held rights of high justice, and it was lived in until 2018. The Guilloux brothers then bought the estate and converted it in stages: an event hall in the barn, cottages in the outbuildings, a renovated pool, outdoor lighting and a second reception room in the manor. A car park takes about 60 vehicles.
Getting there
The Domaine de Neuville is at 24 La Grande Neuville, 35113 Domagné, in Ille-et-Vilaine. It lies about 20 minutes by car east of Rennes, on the way to Vitré.
