Domaine des Vieux Chênes hosts weddings, seminars and large private events under marquees, in a two-hectare park with ponds, woods and centuries-old oaks at Pargny-Filain, in Aisne. The main marquee seats up to 300 guests, and lodging on site sleeps up to 80.
Seminars and company events
The domaine offers seminars built around its background in live performance. Teams can work under the marquee or in the barn, stay in the unusual lodgings, and join circus discovery workshops, professional acts and shared moments. The organizer also provides support before and during the event. Suppliers such as caterers, photographers, musicians and circus artists can be arranged, and furniture, lodging and sound and lighting equipment are available.
The site targets companies and groups looking for a meaningful, hands-on experience rather than a standard meeting room.
Weddings and receptions
The large white marquee sits at the edge of the woods. Next to it is the caterer's area, which allows quick service, and it seats up to 300 guests at tables with a dance floor. The Léa marquee opens onto the park and suits cocktails, receptions and secular ceremonies, and can also be set up as a games area. The barn opens onto the courtyard. It is used for cocktails or a small reception, with wood stoves, a mezzanine and sofas.
A full privatization runs from Friday 3 p.m. to Sunday 5 p.m. It includes the large marquee with sound and lighting, the barn, the Léa marquee, the sauna, the park, the ponds and tables and chairs for the meal. A partial rental covers only some of the spaces.

Available for the whole weekend: a 400 m² marquee, a 250 m² marquee, a 180 m² barn set up as a bar, a caterer area and a cellar. Outdoors, there is a two-hectare park with ponds and woods.
