La Bélonie hosts residential seminars and conferences for up to 50 participants and receptions for up to 100 guests, with 12 bedrooms for groups staying overnight. It is a set of four buildings around an 18th-century master house at Combaléran, Marzens, in the Tarn, and the fifth house of the Halte en Cocagne estate.
Seminars and company events
Companies can book for a single night, the shortest stay offered to professional clients. Four rooms can be used for work: Salle Montfaucon of 140 m², the Arcades building of 120 m², the Amphithéâtre André of 70 m² and Salon Piboul of 50 m². The house page gives seminars of up to 50 people, while the equipment list gives up to 60 participants. Rooms come with an interactive screen, a video projector, a paperboard, a sound system, a microphone and free Wi-Fi, with a printer on request.
The team sets rooms in a U, classroom or conference layout and helps build the program, from arrival and meals to activities. Team-building options include sports, yoga, cooking classes, wine tasting and a local guide, and the estate runs its own escape game. The other four houses of Halte en Cocagne can be booked alongside La Bélonie when a group needs more beds.
Weddings and receptions
Receptions of up to 100 guests use Salle Montfaucon and the Arcades. Montfaucon and the Amphithéâtre André can also be hired on their own. The estate offers a wedding and reception package on request, and group stays for weddings and family reunions. Furniture is supplied on request: 12 round tables, 10 rectangular tables, 100 folding wooden chairs and 5 high tables, with a catering kitchen for the caterer and a sound system.
Rooms and capacities
Salle Montfaucon, 140 m², is the largest room and is used for both seminars and receptions. The Arcades building, 120 m², combines a bar, a very large lounge, long tables, a professional kitchen and a terrace. The Amphithéâtre André, 70 m², suits presentations, and Salon Piboul, 50 m², works for breakout groups. Per-room capacities are not published.
Accommodation
La Grande Bélonie has 4 suites and 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms, a large kitchen, a dining room for 12 and a lounge with a fireplace. La Petite Bélonie has 6 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a lounge. Beds are made on arrival, with linen, towels, toiletries and hair dryers in every room, and end-of-stay cleaning is included. The leisure building holds a heated indoor pool of 12 by 4.5 meters, a jacuzzi, a hammam and changing rooms. Outside there are a padel court shared with the neighboring house L'Héritier, a boules pitch, table tennis and a garden shaded by plane trees.
Catering
The Arcades has a professional kitchen and tableware for 40. Groups can cook for themselves, order a dinner to reheat on the evening of arrival, have a caterer deliver or bring in a private chef, which the team arranges on request.
History and setting
The master house dates from the 18th century, with proportions unusual for the area. It was joined to farm buildings enlarged over the centuries, as the mix of stonework shows, and a row of windows and oculi under the eaves ties the facades together. The house once belonged to the Bastide des Tourelles estate. After ten years of thought and three years of work, it opened on March 20, 2024. Its 1,000 m² of buildings are heated and cooled by geothermal energy and were insulated mostly with bio-based materials.
Getting there
The address is Combaléran, 81500 Marzens, in the Tarn. The estate is 45 minutes from Albi and from Toulouse. Private parking is on site, with two charging points for electric cars.
