Seminars and company events
Domaine Mélusine hosts seminars, team-building days and group stays in two meeting rooms of about 80 people each, with around 130 cottages and studios for groups staying overnight. The estate is a four-star outdoor hospitality site on 10 hectares in Les Épesses, in the Vendée, about 1.8 km from the Puy du Fou park.
Groups choose between two formats. The residential formula includes one or more nights in a cottage with breakfast, and the day formula covers the meeting without accommodation. Either can be completed with coffee breaks, snacks, lunch, dinner or a cocktail reception, and the estate sends a quote for the chosen combination. The setting suits a company that wants to pair working sessions with a visit to the Puy du Fou, a team ride on the Vendée Vélo cycling route, which passes the estate, or an evening by the natural lagoon. A mini-golf course adds a light activity on site.
Weddings and receptions
Alongside company seminars, the group offer covers family gatherings, weddings and baptisms. The same rooms, catering options and cottages apply, so a wedding party can house its guests on the estate and keep the reception within walking distance of the accommodation. Wedding arrangements are handled through the group quote.
Rooms and capacities
The estate has two meeting rooms. Its seminar page gives each a capacity of about 80 people, close to 160 when both are used, while its group page speaks of around 100 per room, so organisers should confirm the layout for their headcount. Room names and equipment are not published. The restaurant, La Table Mélusine, is set in three large yurts, and the lagoon and green spaces give room for breaks outdoors.
Accommodation
Around 130 studios and cottages are spread across the 10 hectares, suited to couples, families and groups of colleagues. Some accommodation is set around a natural bathing pond. The former comfort cottages are no longer offered, and the current categories are shown on the booking site. Breakfast is included in residential stays.
Catering
Meals are served at La Table Mélusine, the on-site restaurant in three yurts. For groups, lunches, dinners, breaks and cocktail receptions are added to the chosen formula. Takeaway breakfasts and packed lunches suit days spent at the Puy du Fou or on the bike paths.
History and setting
The estate lies in the countryside of northern Vendée, a short distance from the Puy du Fou, the historical theme park that draws visitors to Les Épesses each season. Its 10 hectares bring together the accommodation, the yurt restaurant, the lagoon and green space, which gives a group a self-contained base where colleagues can walk between their cottage, the meeting room and dinner.
Getting there
The address is 70 rue du Puy du Fou, 85590 Les Épesses. The estate opens in season, from April 3 to November 1, 2026, and again from December 18, 2026, to January 3, 2027, so seminar dates need to fall in those windows. Cholet is the nearest large town with a train station, and Nantes Atlantique is the closest airport. Most groups arrive by car or coach.
