La Ferme Sainte-Anne hosts weddings, family reunions, birthday parties, receptions, meetings and seminars. The estate is hired exclusively for each event and offers two halls, one for 80 to 100 guests and one for 100 to 150, with beds for 36 people in two gîtes. It stands at 380 Chemin de la Ferme Sainte-Anne, in the countryside about 2 km from the historic town of Langres, in the Haute-Marne.
Seminars and company events
The main hall works as a meeting room as well as a dining room. A laptop and a video projector can be rented on request, along with tablecloths, crockery and cutlery for meals. With 30 beds in the main gîte, a team can meet, eat and sleep on the same site over two days, and the 120 parking spaces make it easy to arrive by car. The estate does not publish meeting packages, so a seminar here is organized directly with the owners, with an outside caterer for meals. Groups can also start hikes from the farm.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the estate's main event business. The whole property is reserved for one event, and the spaces can be arranged to suit a rustic or a more formal style. Photos on the site show civil-style ceremonies outdoors. The owners keep a list of vetted local suppliers, and tableware and equipment can be rented on site. Small 6 m by 3 m marquees, standing tables with covers and cleaning are offered as extras. The site also covers winter weddings and large family reunions, known in France as cousinades.
Rooms and capacities
La Grande Salle is the main hall, with stone walls and a rustic character. It holds 80 to 100 people and has catering equipment, with a fitted kitchen next door. La Salle Voûtée has a vaulted ceiling and dressed-stone walls. It holds 100 to 150 people and suits receptions, drinks and informal evenings. Floor areas are not published.
Accommodation
The main gîte is rated four épis by Gîtes de France. It has nine bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and sleeps 30 people; one room is adapted for guests with reduced mobility. A second, independent gîte, Le Chant des Sources, sleeps six and looks out over the countryside. Breakfast and towels can be added. A camping option is also listed for extra guests.
Catering
The estate does not run a kitchen service for events. Hosts bring a caterer of their choice, who works from the kitchen next to the main hall, and the owners can suggest local suppliers.
History and setting
The farm sits in open countryside close to the fortified old town of Langres. It holds the Tourisme et Handicap label as well as its Gîtes de France rating. The site gives no history for the buildings.
Getting there
The estate is about 2 km from the center of Langres and about 4 km from Saints-Geosmes, where shops and services are close at hand. Langres sits next to the A31 motorway, and the town has a train station.
