Seminars and company events
The Domaine de l'Art de Vivre takes seminars, training sessions and company events for 20 to 350 people across five rooms, with an overnight option for around 20 guests in its two gîtes. The estate stands among woods and meadows at Barvaux-Condroz, in the Condroz region of Wallonia, Belgium, and is booked privately, so a group has the place to itself.
For business clients, the estate runs as the Condroz Business Center. Packages include the private hire of a room sized to the group, tables, chairs and standing tables, WiFi, access to the terrace, the garden and private parking, and use of an equipped kitchen for breaks or a caterer. A screen, a projector and a sound system are on site. The estate also sells green seminar days built around team cohesion, with local catering and drinks from a Belgian brewer.
Weddings and receptions
Three wedding formats are offered. The smallest takes the whole gîte, the lounge with its open fire and the bridal suite with jacuzzi for an intimate celebration. A second format combines a room, furniture, a mobile bar, a playlist and an optional food truck. The third gives the couple the whole estate from Friday morning to Sunday evening. The ceremony can be held outdoors in the garden or indoors, with the choice left until the last minute. There is no imposed end time and no sound limiter indoors, while outdoor music stops at 8 PM.

Catering
The estate works without imposed partners: clients choose any caterer, and the team can recommend local caterers, food trucks, sound engineers and photographers. The equipped kitchen is available for breaks or for the caterer's service.
History and setting
The estate is surrounded by woods and meadows in the heart of Wallonia. It holds the Clé Verte eco-label and applies measures such as waste sorting, composting and a connected thermostat.
Getting there
The address is Route de Dinant 6, 5370 Barvaux-Condroz. The private car park on site holds about 100 cars, so most groups arrive by road. For weddings, the hire runs from 10 AM the day before to 5 PM the day after.
