Les Jardins du Nideck host study days, seminars, team building, weddings, family celebrations and residential workshops, with the option of booking the whole estate including all accommodation. The property combines a small hotel, four self-catering cottages, seminar rooms, a Nordic spa and a Finnish kota grill in a 2-hectare park. It is at 59 rue du Nideck in Oberhaslach, in the Bas-Rhin, about 40 minutes from Strasbourg.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells meeting days, study days, half-day and full-day seminars, residential seminars over several days and team building in a green setting. The seminar rooms are described as modular, with daylight, and can be fitted with a projector and a flip chart. The team helps with room set-up, menus and outside providers for activities.
Group meals for seminars are prepared by chef Jean-François Evano, with menus adapted to the format of the meeting. Groups can also book the kota, a small Finnish wooden cabin with a central wood-fired grill, for lunch or dinner for up to 12 people.
The estate also hosts workshops and retreats on art, music, dance, photography, yoga and wellbeing, as well as conventions.
Weddings and receptions
The estate is offered for full wedding weekends, from a welcome dinner on Friday to the ceremony and party on Saturday and a farewell brunch on Sunday. The tree-lined park suits a secular ceremony, the welcome drink and photos, and guests can sleep on site in the rooms and cottages. A free private car park next to the reception room is reserved for the event. The team recommends booking 12 to 18 months ahead for exclusive use.
Rooms and capacities
Capacities for the reception and seminar rooms are not published. The estate states that it can host both small gatherings and larger groups and that the layout adapts to the number of guests. The kota takes up to 12 people for a meal, and the Nordic spa from 2 to 8 people per session. Ask the team for the figures for your layout.
Accommodation
The hotel has renovated double rooms and a master suite, each with a queen-size bed, walk-in shower, TV and wifi. Four cottages with kitchens give groups more independence: Myrtille for up to 3, Noisette and Coquelicot for 2 to 3 and up to 5, and Jonquille for up to 5. Cottages are rented for at least two nights. The whole site, accommodation included, can be booked for a group. Under the same management, Villa Aurora, a Finnish wooden house at Orbey in the Kaysersberg valley, sleeps groups of up to 12.
Catering
Beyond the chef's seminar menus, the estate serves breakfast, sharing boards and a dish of the day. Wifi is free and unlimited.
History and setting
The estate is run by Elodie, an Alsace-born former engineer, and Annika, who comes from Finland and has long worked in tourism and events. The Finnish influence shows in the kota and in the Nordic spa, a wood-fired hot bath and sauna on the far bank of the Hasel, which runs through the park. The hotel is open all year, every day except Monday outside school holidays.
Getting there
Oberhaslach lies west of Molsheim, about 40 minutes by road from Strasbourg. Free private parking is on site.
