The estate takes up to 150 guests for a standing reception or 130 for a seated dinner, and the whole site is reserved for one group per event. Meetings, seminars, study days, company lunches, family parties and weddings are all on the program. Les Lauriers de la Bastide sits in the countryside at Giroussens, in the Tarn department, between Toulouse and Albi.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells meetings, one-day or multi-day seminars, conferences of up to 150 people, study days, team building and incentive days. Tables can be set in a U shape or in conference rows on request. The rental includes a whiteboard, a flip chart, notepads and pens, and the table setup. A video projector, a sound system and a wireless microphone are available on request, and a lectern and stage can be added for a conference. Free Wi-Fi covers the site.
Breaks are served with coffee and pastries facing the park. Between sessions, groups can use the 2-hectare grounds for pétanque, croquet or badminton. A gala dinner can close the last day.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding runs entirely on site: a secular ceremony under the trees, drinks in the park or under the covered terrace, then dinner and dancing in the reception hall. The estate also hosts birthdays, christenings and family gatherings. Options offered through the venue or its partners include decoration, a starry-sky ceiling effect, a DJ, lighting, photo and video, a candy bar, a selfie booth, children's entertainment and babysitting. A marquee can extend the hall for receptions above 130 guests or for garden parties.
Rooms and capacities
The reception hall seats up to 130 guests with a dance floor, or holds 150 for a cocktail. It is heated and air-conditioned, opens onto the park through large glass doors, and has step-free access. Round or rectangular tables and buffet tables are provided, and furniture for 130 people is included in the wedding rental. A covered terrace extends the hall toward the park. An adjoining 40 m² area can serve as a children's corner, an open bar or a photo booth space. The park covers about 2 hectares of trees, with a pond and a waterfall.
Accommodation
Three gîtes on the estate sleep up to 34 people in total, enough for a wedding party or a two-day seminar group. The venue also points to a gîte about 2 km away in Giroussens and to a 58-room hotel in Lavaur, about 7 km away.
Catering
There is no in-house restaurant. Organizers bring the caterer of their choice, who works from a 50 m² equipped catering kitchen on site. The estate can also suggest partner caterers. Cocktails, seated lunches and gala dinners are all served this way.
History and setting
The park is planted with poplars, oaks, mimosas and laurels. The setting is rural and quiet, and the grounds serve both for outdoor ceremonies and for group photos. Free, secure private parking is on site.
Getting there
The address is 1300 route de Salles, 81500 Giroussens. The estate gives a drive of about 25 minutes from Toulouse and from Albi. Toulouse-Blagnac is the nearest airport, and the closest train station is at Saint-Sulpice-la-Pointe, a short drive away.
