Domaine des Courmettes hosts company seminars, working days, CSR workshops, church retreats, weddings and receptions. A marquee seats up to 150 guests from April to October, and the main building has meeting rooms of 50 to 150 m². The estate covers 600 hectares of protected land at Tourrettes-sur-Loup, in the Alpes-Maritimes, with its buildings at 850 metres above sea level and views over the coast from Nice to Cannes.
Seminars and company events
Companies can book from Monday to Thursday between early April and late October, when weddings take the weekends, and any day of the week for the rest of the year. The estate is about 45 minutes from Sophia Antipolis and the Nice area.
Work spaces include several rooms of 50 to 150 m² and a 200 m² marquee from April to the end of October. Meals can be self-catered in an equipped kitchen with a dining room, or provided by a caterer.
The estate is first of all a center for environmental protection and education, and its team can run sessions that fit a seminar: guided nature walks, a climate fresco workshop, environmental quizzes, garden workshops and team building. These are adapted to the group's schedule.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are held from April to October. The marquee seats up to 150 for dinner, and extensions can be added. Several meadows and an indoor room can host a standing drinks reception or an outdoor dinner, depending on the season. Couples choose their own caterer, with eco-minded partners recommended by the team, and no corkage fee applies. For 2026 only a few weekend dates remain, and bookings for 2027 are open.
Rooms and capacities
The published figures are rooms of 50 to 150 m² and a 200 m² marquee seating up to 150. The names and layouts of each room are not published. Groups also use two independent shared kitchens.
Accommodation
The estate sleeps up to 85 people in individual and shared rooms and dormitories, and tents can be added beyond that. The buildings are more than a century old and were restored with care to keep their original materials, so comfort levels vary from one room to another. Two self-catering apartments are also let by the week: Panoramique sleeps nine in three bedrooms and Marronnier, renovated in 2020, sleeps six.
Catering
There is no in-house restaurant for events. Groups cook for themselves in the shared kitchens or bring a caterer, and the team can recommend caterers in several price ranges. Full-board stays can be arranged in some cases.
History and setting
The estate is a private property of 600 hectares, open to the public, at the foot of the Pic des Courmettes, which rises to 1,248 metres. It is a Natura 2000 site within the Préalpes d'Azur regional nature park and is managed as a nature reserve. The land belongs to the Association Amiral de Coligny. Since 2008 it has been run by A Rocha, a Christian conservation organisation active in 20 countries, which has its French head office here and runs nature outings and courses through the year. The estate celebrated its centenary in 2018. Visitors are asked to respect the Christian identity of the place.
Getting there
The estate lies between Vence and Grasse, above the Gorges du Loup, at 4500 route des Courmettes. The nearest station is Cagnes-sur-Mer, with bus 655 to Vence, where the team can collect guests. For group stays and events a shuttle from Vence is usually provided. Nice Côte d'Azur airport is connected to Vence by tram and bus 9.
