Either property can be hired exclusively. The estate hosts seminars, conventions, weddings and private parties, and is open all year, Monday to Sunday.
The two halls

- **Le Mas**: the larger hall, described as spacious and bright. It takes 80 to 200 guests seated for dinner and up to 300 for a cocktail. Around it are a terrace planted with olive trees that faces the sun, a pergola, a lounge and a secured private car park. Private receptions start at 80 people.
Seminars and company events
The estate welcomes seminars, study days, conventions, symposiums and press conferences from Monday to Friday, with a minimum of 50 people, and offers all or part of the reception spaces. The listed equipment includes a video projector, flip chart, Wi-Fi and internet connection, sound system and microphone. Other corporate formats mentioned are incentive events, sales challenges, team building, product launches, year-end parties, greetings ceremonies and Christmas trees for children. The team builds the event with the organizer, from the first idea to the final production.
Weddings and receptions
Private events listed include weddings, birthdays, christenings, bar and bat mitzvahs, communions, engagement parties, retirement parties and baby showers. At Le Mas, the hall, the olive-tree terrace and the pergola give room to split a day between an outdoor ceremony, a drinks reception and a seated dinner. La Villa offers its hall, terrace and lounge for smaller receptions. Special rates and offers apply when the event is held on a day other than Saturday. Total exclusive hire of the Mas or of the Villa is possible.
Catering
Catering is handled by the caterers the estate references. The turnkey package covers the caterer's meal, service staff for the full reception, alcoholic and soft drinks, groceries, tablecloths and tableware or buffet equipment.
