Domaine de la Brosse can host seminars, company groups, family celebrations and ceremonies for up to 160 guests in its 185-square-meter hall. Next to the hall, a manor house, an apartment and a studio offer 9 bedrooms for guests who stay overnight. The estate is at Saint-Ouen-de-Thouberville, in the Eure, about 15 minutes from Rouen and next to the A13 motorway.
Seminars and company events
The owners welcome groups, families and companies, and present the hall as a place for colleagues to meet for seminars as well as for family events. For a company, the estate suits a team day, a training session or an informal gathering with a meal, where the group has the whole site to itself. The hall comes with round tables and chairs, and the estate has high-speed internet. The site does not describe a projector or screen, so plan to bring presentation equipment or ask the owners.
A team that wants to stay over can book the lodgings on site, and the park, games areas and outdoor dining spaces give room for breaks and evening activities.
Weddings and receptions
The owners call the hall a ceremony room for family and friends. It works for receptions and celebrations of up to 160 guests, with the park for drinks outdoors and a children's playground. Wedding-specific services such as planning or partner suppliers are not described on the site, so couples should plan to bring their own caterer and suppliers.
Rooms and capacities
The hall covers 185 square meters and holds 160 people. It is bright and has an exposed glued-laminated timber frame. Round tables of 1.5 meters in diameter and chairs are provided, and the entrance is covered. Access to a clean kitchen for preparation and a separate washing-up kitchen is included in the hire. Outside, a large car park, terraces and outdoor dining areas complete the site.
Accommodation
The accommodation is split into three independent lodgings that share only the park and the play areas. The manor house has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a lounge, a dining room and a kitchen. The apartment has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and the studio has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, each with its own lounge, dining room and kitchen. Every lodging has Wi-Fi, a television, a shared jacuzzi, a brazier and free parking. Bed linen and duvets are provided. Depending on the period, you can rent the whole estate or only part of it.
Catering
There is no in-house catering. The hire includes access to the preparation kitchen and the washing-up kitchen, so groups bring a caterer or organize their own meals. The lodgings also have equipped kitchens and dining rooms.
History and setting
The estate is a former holiday camp, fully renovated, built around a manor house in 3 hectares of grounds. The setting is quiet, with no close neighbors, and shops are 5 minutes away by car. The owners also run a second rental site, the Château des Roques gîte.
Getting there
Saint-Ouen-de-Thouberville is about 15 minutes from the center of Rouen, 35 minutes from Deauville and Honfleur and about 1 hour from Paris La Défense. The estate sits a short distance from the A13 motorway between Paris and Caen, and there is a large car park on site.
