The estate covers 40 hectares and can sleep up to 47 people in eco-friendly gîtes. It runs as an ecological site, with a hall, a small theater, a meeting room and a wellness area.
Seminars and company events
The estate takes seminars, brainstorming sessions, team retreats, green-room days, training, team building and company parties. Two formulas exist. The standard one rents all or part of the spaces: meeting room, gîtes, seminar and reception rooms, wellness. The tailor-made one builds a program with the client and brings in a facilitator for the chosen process. Breaks can include a guided walk about the history of the place and its biodiversity work, a run, or time in the wellness area with sauna, Nordic bath and fitness.
Weddings and receptions
The site states it has organized more than 200 weddings. Couples choose the Salle des Carosses or the theater room, can bring their own caterer, and are not limited by closing hours. Guests can sleep in the gîtes, and tents can be set up on the grounds. A booking calendar on the site shows which weekends remain.
