Haras du Reuzel hosts seminars, study days, training sessions, team-building days, company dinners and weddings for up to 110 guests in its main hall, with two smaller rooms and a covered préau. The estate sleeps 37 people in rooms, gîtes, a gypsy caravan and a tiny house, and is booked by one group at a time. It lies at Orgères, in Ille-et-Vilaine, about 10 minutes south of Rennes, in more than 20 hectares of woods and meadows.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells day and residential seminars, study days, training, executive committees, general meetings, integration days, afterworks and conferences. The Salle Bambou is the main room: it can be split in two, one part for work and one for meals, for groups of 35 to 55 with a seated lunch. Above 55 people, lunch is served as a standing buffet. Equipment includes a video projector, screen, paperboards, a sound system with six speakers and two wireless microphones, and fiber wifi. The owners are present throughout the day and receive deliveries.
Team activities draw on the estate: outdoor cohesion workshops, a visit of the organic farm for groups of 20, wild plant foraging with a local cook, zero-waste workshops and team challenges in the park.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings, the whole estate is reserved for three days. The Salle Bambou seats up to 110, the préau shelters the ceremony or drinks from sun and rain, and the Berline and Sellerie rooms serve as a children's room or for the drinks. Outdoor ceremonies take place in the park, the old kitchen garden or under the préau. There is no imposed supplier and no time limit for the party. Vintage tableware, decoration and furniture can be rented on site.

History and setting
Ernest Le Comte, a public prosecutor, built the house in 1898 as a country family home, to plans by Emmanuel Le Ray, the Rennes architect of the Saint-Georges swimming pool and the central market halls. Two wings were added a few years later, and weddings were held there from the early 20th century. His descendant Antonin Régnier has farmed the land organically since 2005, raising Salers cattle, and opened the events business in 2017 with his wife Charlène. Horses live in herds on the meadows and about thirty beehives stand on the estate. A pond, old azaleas and wildflowers surround the house.
Getting there
The estate is at 50 Le Reuzel, 35230 Orgères, near an interchange on the Rennes to Nantes road (RN137), 10 minutes from Rennes Sud and about one hour from Nantes and Saint-Malo. Free parking on site takes cars and coaches.
