Le Mas des Bartavelles hosts seminars, study days, company Christmas parties, birthdays and weddings for 20 to 200 guests, seated or standing, in a 280 m² stone reception hall. Catering is done by the estate's own kitchen team, and 30 guests can sleep on site. The estate lies on the RDN7 at Saint-Jean-de-l'Estérel, in the commune of Fréjus (Var), between the sea and the Esterel forest.
Seminars and company events
The estate takes meetings, seminars, study days and conferences. Rooms are set up to suit the group and come with a projector, a screen, a sound system and high-speed Wi-Fi. The catering team covers the whole day: welcome breakfast, coffee breaks, business lunch and dinner. Menus use fresh, seasonal produce and can follow dietary needs.
For team building, the estate runs cooking classes on site and pétanque games, and arranges outings with local partners: quad and buggy rides in the Esterel, team games at Lake Saint-Cassien and tastings at a wine estate. End-of-year parties and company Christmas trees are a regular format. The offer covers exclusive use of the decorated hall, catering as a standing dinner, a buffet or a seated meal, and entertainment such as a Santa Claus visit, children's workshops, a photo booth or a DJ.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are sold as a turnkey package. The team brings in a florist, a DJ, a photographer and a wedding planner, holds a tasting session and follows the couple from the first meeting to the day itself. Lucie, the events director, works with three wedding planners named on the site. Ceremonies take place in a dedicated outdoor area with an arbor and a refreshment corner, facing the Esterel hills and the Bay of Cannes. Drinks are served in the garden and under the pergola, then dinner and dancing move to the stone hall. Birthdays and christenings, including secular ceremonies, follow the same pattern.
Rooms and capacities
The reception hall, a renovated former sheepfold, covers 280 m² and holds 20 to 200 guests, seated or standing. It comes fully equipped: round or rectangular tables with linen, white chairs, cutlery, glassware and plates. Outside, the garden covers 200 m² and the pergola 40 m², with lounge corners. The ceremony area is separate. The team can also handle decoration with its own stock of props.
Accommodation
The estate sleeps 30. A 150 m² gîte over two floors takes 24 people, in four closed bedrooms and two open sleeping areas, with two shower rooms and toilets. A 35 m² bungalow takes six, in a double room, a twin room and a sofa bed, with its own shower room and separate toilet. Bedding and linen are included in both.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The kitchen team is led by Johnny Vacher and cooks traditional Provençal dishes from fresh, local and seasonal produce, with live cooking stations among the formats. Options include lunch or dinner, happy hours, cocktail receptions with food stations, standing buffets and seated meals. Quotes are all-inclusive from the aperitif to dessert, with drinks included.
History and setting
The main building is a renovated stone sheepfold set in the Esterel, between the coast and the forest. Outdoor spaces are laid out around it with statues, panels and planted features, and the site looks out over the massif toward the Bay of Cannes. The setting is natural and quiet, with the sound of cicadas in summer.
Getting there
The postal address is 62 RDN7, Saint-Jean-de-l'Estérel, 83600 Fréjus. The estate sits on the old coast road between Fréjus and Cannes, which makes a car or a coach the practical way to bring a group. The site does not give public transport directions, so check the nearest station and transfer options with the team when you plan arrivals.
