Domaine de la Maison Bleue takes seminars, company days, weddings and private parties for 10 to 150 guests, with 43 sleeping places on site and full private hire of the estate. The property lies at 1770 route du Revollet in Artas, in northern Isère, about 40 to 45 minutes from Lyon and an hour from Grenoble.
Seminars and company events
Business groups use the 170 m² reception hall as a plenary room, a conference room or a co-working space, and a smaller 65 m² room for workshops. The hall has a video projector and a sound system with four speakers and two microphones, and Wi-Fi covers the whole estate. Day seminars start at 10 participants. Residential formats keep the group on site for two days and one night, with the bedrooms, the TV lounge, the equipped kitchen and an infrared sauna reserved for them. The estate is booked by one group at a time. Morning sessions of qi gong or stretching can be added, and team-building providers can be arranged on request.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a secular ceremony under the pergola, which has a podium, with the hall as the fallback in poor weather. Drinks and meals move between the terrace, the hall and a 150 m² nomad tent attached to it. The estate is privatized for the event, with no other booking that day, and a stay can run from the ceremony to the next morning's breakfast or over a full weekend. The site also hosts birthdays and other private celebrations.
Rooms and capacities
The reception hall measures 170 m², is air-conditioned and soundproofed, and comes furnished for 150 seated guests. The workshop room adds 65 m², and the seminar spaces are accessible to guests with reduced mobility. Outside, the fully enclosed one-hectare park has a wooden terrace, the pergola, a summer kitchen, a 5 by 12 m pool with a certified safety barrier and evening lighting, a petanque court, table tennis, a basketball hoop, a small football pitch and a children's play area. The lit, enclosed car park holds 100 cars.
Accommodation
The estate counts 43 sleeping places across the main house, a cottage and an annex. The main house has six bedrooms for two to six people, a dormitory, five bathrooms, a large lounge with TV and a fully equipped kitchen. The air-conditioned cottage, set in the park near the pool, sleeps two. Tents and campervans can stay at the back of the car park.
Catering
The estate provides its own catering with local produce: buffet breakfasts, lunches indoors or outside, dinners around the brazier, cocktail receptions and sweet and savory buffets. An outside caterer can also use the professional kitchen, under conditions set by the estate, and a list of partner suppliers is available.
History and setting
The main house is a former Dauphiné farmhouse built in pisé, the rammed earth typical of the area, with about 400 m² over two floors. The estate takes its name from the pastel blue of the house and its tower, which stands out against the trees of the park.
Getting there
Artas lies between Lyon and Grenoble in the north of the Isère department. Lyon is about 40 to 45 minutes by car and Grenoble about an hour. The site gives no public transport details, so organisers should plan road transfers for groups.
