Le Mas des Auréliens can host seminars, conventions, product launches, gala evenings and weddings in a single 400 m² hall, with up to 400 guests at a standing cocktail and 280 at a seated banquet. The venue stands on Chemin des Peupliers in Trets, a town in the Bouches-du-Rhône between Aix-en-Provence and the Var, with 45 hectares of vineyards around it and a view of the Sainte-Victoire massif.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells professional events in several formats: seminars, conventions, product launches and gala evenings. Everything is built around one main hall of 400 m² that can be set up in different ways. The published figures are 300 seats in theater style for a plenary session, 200 in classroom style for a training day, 100 around a U-shaped table and 100 in a conference layout. For a client evening or an end-of-year party, the same hall takes 400 guests standing or 280 seated at a banquet.
Technical equipment is part of the offer. The site lists an LED wall, a stage, a lectern, microphones, a flipchart, Wi-Fi and a video projector. That covers a keynote with slides, a panel discussion or an awards ceremony without hiring an outside supplier for the basics. Outdoor spaces and on-site parking are also listed, so a working day can move outside for breaks or a group activity when the weather allows.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the other main activity. Couples book the estate for the day. The ceremony can take place outdoors facing the Sainte-Victoire, the cocktail is served on a panoramic terrace and the evening party continues in the hall. The venue also promotes winter weddings, with reduced conditions for dates in the colder months and a wider choice of free dates. Private clients can book the venue for christenings and birthday parties as well, by day or by night, with the terrace used for daytime gatherings and partner suppliers available for entertainment.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall covers 400 m². Published capacities are 400 for a cocktail, 300 theater, 280 banquet, 200 classroom, 100 U-shape and 100 conference. The terrace and the outdoor areas extend the hall for receptions and breaks; their own capacities are not published. The site does not list separate breakout rooms, so a seminar that needs parallel workshops should ask how the hall and outdoor spaces can be divided.
Accommodation
The capacity sheet for professional events marks accommodation as available both on site and nearby. The number of bedrooms is not published, so organizers planning an overnight seminar should ask for the details when they request a quote.
Catering
The wedding offer includes a cocktail served on the terrace before dinner in the hall. For christenings and birthdays, the venue puts clients in touch with partner suppliers. The name of the caterer and whether an outside caterer can be brought in are not stated on the site, so this is worth confirming early.
History and setting
The estate sits in open, green countryside with vineyards on all sides. From the terrace, guests look out over the Sainte-Victoire and the Mont Aurélien, the two ridges that frame this part of Provence. The setting works well for outdoor ceremonies and summer cocktails, and the venue also pitches the light and mild climate of the region for events held in winter.

For guests arriving by train, the stations listed are Aix-en-Provence TGV, Marseille Saint-Charles, Toulon and Nice Ville. The airports listed are Marseille Provence and Nice Côte d'Azur.
