Domaine du Dahu in Sablons, in Gironde, is privatized for company seminars, study days, team-building sessions and retreats on the shore of a private lake. The domain has an equipped 75 m² seminar room, a covered terrace and 18 beds in five floating chalets, an outer chalet and a lodge. No other client is on site during your stay. It is 40 minutes from Bordeaux and 20 minutes from Saint-Émilion.
Seminars and company events
Two formats are sold to companies and works councils. A study day runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. without accommodation, for groups of up to 12 people on weekdays in low season, and larger groups are quoted individually. A residential seminar takes the whole domain for two nights, with the room and the covered terrace available for the entire stay. The room is heated, bright with natural light and set facing the lake, and the shores and grounds can be used for sub-group workshops.
A team-building offer comes from the on-site restaurant Limnades, which opens in early November 2026. It offers a beer and cocktail workshop, an oenology workshop with the sommelier on request, a cooking workshop on quote and a team brunch, for groups of up to 20 depending on the format. A quote is sent within 24 hours.
Weddings and receptions
The domain does not sell weddings. It hosts family groups for baptisms, family reunions, birthdays and weekends with friends, up to the 18 beds, in the same privatized setting. The large room and the covered terrace serve for the meal, and the host cooks or a caterer delivers.
Rooms and capacities
The main room covers 75 m², is equipped and faces the lake. The covered terrace shelters breaks, group meals and informal moments. The site gives no seated or theatre figure for the room, so ask for the layouts. Fishing is no-kill on the 3-hectare lake, and paddle boarding is possible with your own equipment and a life jacket.
Accommodation
The domain sleeps 18 people in double beds, or 11 in single beds. It has five independent floating chalets on the lake, an outer chalet with a kitchenette and a 170 m² lodge with four bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and a large living room facing the lake. The lodge sleeps six.
Catering
Meals come from Limnades, the domain's restaurant, which opens in early November 2026, or groups cook themselves in the lodge's equipped kitchen. A caterer can also deliver for family events.
History and setting
The domain is built around a private lake of 3 hectares edged by forest, in a slow-tourism approach with personal service. Groups walk around the lake between sessions.
