The Domaine des Séquoias hosts meetings, study days, conferences, residential seminars, team building, company evenings, product and car launches, weddings and private parties. Indoor capacity runs from 10 people around a table to 180 at a standing dinner, and the park takes outdoor receptions of up to 600 guests. The estate combines an 18-room hotel, a restaurant and an events team in Ruy-Montceau, in the Nord-Isère, five minutes from Bourgoin-Jallieu.
Seminars and company events
The events team sells three main formats. A study day includes a welcome coffee, an equipped room, lunch at the restaurant and breaks. A residential seminar adds accommodation in the hotel's 18 rooms with meals included. Afterwork events and company evenings can be built around cocktails, a seated dinner, music and entertainment. The estate can be hired in full or in part.
Meeting rooms come with a screen, sound system, flipchart and Wi-Fi, and private salons suit executive committees. The covered pergola can be staged for a car or product presentation. On-site activities include pitch-and-putt golf lessons, wine tastings and cooking or wellness workshops, and the team works with partner suppliers for other requests. The estate lists clients such as Renault, La Poste, Pernod Ricard and Schneider Electric among its references.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings, a secular ceremony can take place in the park under the old trees, followed by drinks by the pool and a seated dinner in the historic salons or outdoors. The restaurant handles the catering, guests can stay in the hotel, and a brunch can be served the next day in the restaurant or on the terrace. The whole estate can be hired exclusively, and the events team coordinates the day. Birthdays, christenings and family meals are also hosted, with partial hire possible.
Rooms and capacities
The Pergola is the largest indoor space: 220 m², heated and air-conditioned, for 160 people in theater style with a stage, 150 in cabaret style and 180 for a standing dinner. The Salon Végétal (66 m², heated) takes 55 in theater style or 32 in a U-shape. The Salon Cèdre (32 m²) seats 14 in a U-shape and the Salon Pierre (26 m²) seats 10. Outdoors, the park and the pool area take receptions of up to 600 guests.
Accommodation
The hotel has 18 fully renovated rooms and suites, from Comfort rooms to suites in the restored manor house, the largest being the Prestige suite. Rooms are air-conditioned, many look onto the park, and guests have access to the pool. Breakfast is served at the restaurant. Parking is free and there is an electric charging point.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The restaurant was once a Michelin-starred table and was taken over and renovated in 2021 by Mr. Dutoit. The kitchen cooks to order from fresh local produce, with a short seasonal menu, seafood, grilled meats and homemade desserts, and builds custom menus for events. Lunch is served in the dining room or on the shaded terrace in summer.
History and setting
The estate is known in the area for its tall sequoias, which give it its name, and for its long history as a gastronomic address in the Nord-Isère. The buildings include a manor house and historic salons set in a large wooded park with a swimming pool, on the edge of Bourgoin-Jallieu.
Getting there
The estate is in Ruy-Montceau, five minutes from Bourgoin-Jallieu and one minute from a motorway exit. Lyon is 30 minutes away by road, and the site sits between Lyon, Grenoble and Chambéry, which suits teams coming from across the region. Parking is available on site.
