Les Domaines de Gaston host residential seminars, study days, team-building programs, company parties and weddings for 10 to 400 guests. The largest room, the Orangerie, seats 320 at tables or takes 400 for a cocktail, and the estate sleeps up to 105 people in 41 bedrooms. Le Manoir stands at 2 rue de Seine in Les Andelys, in the Eure, on a 3.5-hectare park with a private port on the Seine, below the chalk cliffs.
Seminars and company events
The estate is built for residential seminars. All-inclusive packages combine meeting rooms, accommodation, meals, activities and an evening with open bar. One dedicated contact handles the project from design to departure, with a single invoice. Formats include residential seminars, study days, outdoor team building, winter seminars by the fire, cohesion meetings and company evenings.
The team runs a catalog of activities on site: a walking rally with riddles above the Seine, a treasure hunt in the park, olympiads, a murder party, canoe and kayak trips from the private port and a raft-building challenge. Themed evenings such as a Normandy guinguette are also offered. The estate holds the Clef Verte eco-label.
Weddings and receptions
The estate hosts weddings for 10 to 250 seated guests. The ceremony, secular or religious, takes place in the park under old trees or on one of the two banks at the entrance to the port, with the indoor rooms as a backup in case of rain. The cocktail follows in the park or around the port, and dinner and dancing in the Orangerie. No end time is imposed. The venue remains available the next day for a brunch, and cleaning is included. Smaller weddings of up to 70 can be held in the manor.
Rooms and capacities
The site has seven buildings. The Orangerie is a large glazed structure of 450 square meters, described as one of the largest rooms in the Eure, for 320 seated or 400 standing. The 19th-century manor houses the Grand Salon of 180 square meters, used for meetings of 10 to 100. La Caravelle is a smaller room of 100 square meters with a view of the Seine, seating 15. The Orangerie has a sound system, each room has a video projector, and lighting rigs are available. Parking holds more than 100 cars and four coaches.
Accommodation
The estate has 41 bedrooms with single or double beds, 33 bathrooms and up to 105 beds. Rooms are spread across the estate and include an architect-designed house and Nordic pods on wooden stilts. Bed and bath linen are provided.
Catering
Meals are part of the all-inclusive packages and are prepared by the estate's catering team, from breakfast to the evening event.
History and setting
The estate lies in a Natura 2000 area between the chalk cliffs and the river, in the Normandy countryside between Paris and Rouen. The owners, Benoît and Alexia, run it as a relaxed, festive place. A second site, Les Granges de Gaston at Champenard, is hired separately for smaller groups.
Getting there
By car, Paris is about 1 h 15 away via the A13 (exit 17), and Rouen about 45 minutes. By train, regional services from Paris Saint-Lazare reach Gaillon-Aubevoye in about one hour, followed by a 15-minute drive. Boats can moor at the estate's port.
