Les Hauts de Pardaillan hosts weddings, family receptions, garden parties, birthdays and small seminars, with exclusive use of the estate and 50 beds on site so that guests can stay the whole weekend. The estate is a 16th-century manor house at the edge of the Rambouillet forest, at the place called La Tour Neuve in Hermeray, about one hour from Paris.
Seminars and company events
The estate lists small seminars among the private events it receives, alongside anniversaries and family gatherings. A company group gets the same setup as a wedding party: the whole estate to itself, indoor rooms with period stone and beams, outdoor spaces for breaks and meals, a pool, and bedrooms for an overnight stay. Wine, cheese and local food tastings run by the caterer can be added to the program. Meeting-room capacities and equipment are not published, so check the layout for a working session with the team.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the estate's main business. The usual format is an outdoor secular ceremony in the grounds, a cocktail on the pergola or in the courtyard, and dinner in the reception hall, with the estate booked for the whole weekend. The team follows each couple from the signed quote to the day itself, coordinates suppliers and runs the timing on the day. Table setting and the installation of decoration brought by the couple are part of the turnkey service. Partner florists, photographers, set designers and event professionals can be brought in through the estate.
Rooms and capacities
The estate names six spaces: a cocktail area under the pergola, a cocktail area in the courtyard, a cocktail lounge, an indoor ceremony space, a ceremony space by the pool and a dinner hall. The indoor rooms keep their period stone walls and exposed beams, and the outdoor spaces can be set up for ceremonies and cocktails. Capacities are not published for any of them, so ask for the maximum seated and standing figures before you plan the guest list.
Accommodation
Fifty beds are spread across four buildings. La Coursive has 12 rooms overlooking the gardens and Le Lodge has 8 rooms with views across the estate. In Le Pigeonnier, the first floor holds the bridal suite and the ground floor a suite for four with a view of the courtyard. Breakfast is included with every room, made with local produce. On-site parking is described as spacious.
Catering
Catering is handled by Gaulupeau Réceptions, an ISO 20121 certified caterer, as part of the estate's packages. The kitchen follows a locavore approach, with seasonal produce from short supply chains and local growers. The packages cover exclusive use of the estate, catering and all equipment. Tastings of wine, cheese and local dishes can be arranged for guests.
History and setting
The house is a manor dating from the 16th century, carefully renovated, set between meadow and forest at the edge of the Rambouillet forest in the Yvelines. Gardens, old stone and daylight define the setting, and the estate has a swimming pool. The bedrooms look onto large gardens.
Getting there
By train, take the Paris Montparnasse to Chartres line and get off at Épernon. The station is 5 kilometers from the estate, so plan a taxi or book the private shuttle the estate can arrange to and from the station. By road, the address is Lieu-dit La Tour Neuve, Route de Nogent-le-Roi (RD4), 28230 Épernon, about one hour from Paris.
