Seminars and company events
Domaine du Koukano can seat up to 300 guests across its event halls, with a main room for 200, and lodges teams in chalets and mobile homes on a 21-hectare lakeside estate. It is at Maurens-Scopont in the Tarn, about 30 kilometers from both Toulouse and Castres.
For companies, the estate runs seminars over one or several days, with the option of privatizing all 21 hectares. Rooms come with tables, chairs, a sound and lighting system and a built-in projector. Team-building activities take place on site: paintball, archery, olympiads, football and volleyball, pétanque, tennis and table tennis, Mölkky, quizzes, blind tests and cooperative games. Cocktails and brunches can be held at the aquatic area, which turns a seminar day into something closer to an incentive.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a main activity. The estate handles the ceremony, the vin d'honneur, the dinner and the dancing, and guests can sleep on site. The Salle Klub, a nightclub-style room, lets the party run with no closing-time restriction, and the Salle Cheminée suits a vin d'honneur or the next-day brunch, or serves as a quiet room for children. A chalet on stilts with views of the lake, the Montagne Noire and the Pyrenees is set aside for the couple.
Rooms and capacities
The Salle Kâ, 205 square meters with stone walls, beams and LED floor lighting, takes 200. The Salle Klub, connected to it, takes 80 with a DJ booth and its own sound and light system. The Salle Cheminée, about 100 square meters with a large fireplace, oak tables and big windows, takes 60. The Open Bar, 60 square meters, takes 25 and works as a buffet area or a children's dining room. Two smaller rooms, Le Spot for 16 and La Kasa for 12, sit apart for workshops. A 60-square-meter caterer's area with work surfaces, refrigeration and a warming cabinet serves the halls.
Accommodation
The estate is a four-star holiday village. Guests stay in chalets for five or six people, chalets on stilts, air-conditioned mobile homes with three bedrooms for up to six, and lodge tents for five, with pitches for campervans or tents. Hotel-style services can be added on request for business groups. The website does not give a total number of beds.
Catering
Meals are prepared by partner caterers, chosen with the client, who work from the professional caterer's area on site. Breakfasts and meals can be arranged for seminar groups. The estate also has its own restaurant and bar.
History and setting
The estate lies beside the Lac de Geignes, in the Pays de Cocagne between Toulouse, Albi and Castres, with views toward the Pyrenees and the Montagne Noire. The holiday village opens to the public from April 18 to September 21.
Getting there
Toulouse and Castres are each about 30 kilometers away by road, and Toulouse-Blagnac Airport serves the area. A car or a coach transfer is the practical way to bring a group to the estate.
