Lodges en Provence hosts residential seminars, team-building days, weddings and private parties, with meeting rooms for 20 to 250 people and 50 lodges that sleep the whole group on site. The estate sits on 4 hectares of lavender and truffle oaks at Richerenches, in the Enclave des Papes between Vaison-la-Romaine and Grignan. For events it is hired in full, all year round.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells company seminars on an exclusive-use basis, with a dedicated team and a program built to order. Meeting rooms take groups from 20 to 250 people. Team building can run in the park or in the surrounding countryside, on many themes, and a team-building brochure lists the formats: sports challenges, creative workshops, outdoor games and group exercises. In winter, the estate also offers a seminar format built around the black truffle, the local crop.
Evenings can run as gala dinners, barbecues or parties with a DJ or a band. Between sessions, groups have two swimming pools, a multisport court, a pétanque ground, a fitness area, table tennis and table football. The whole site is enclosed and secured, which makes it easy to keep a group together for two or three days.
Weddings and receptions
The estate hosts weddings and birthdays on weekends, with a full service and a setting the owners describe as rustic, bohemian and chic. The wedding page gives a capacity of about 230 guests, all of whom can sleep on site. A secular ceremony can take place on the pontoon and the small beach beside the pool, or in the park. The team shares a list of recommended suppliers, and the chef can cover the whole weekend: the wedding dinner, a brunch the next day, a barbecue or a spit roast, a lunch in the gardens.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant seats 180 people indoors and 230 outdoors. Meeting rooms are listed for 20 to 250 people; their names and individual sizes are not published, so ask for the layout that fits your group.
Accommodation
The park holds 50 lodges, each with a private garden of about 250 square meters. There are four types: the Cabanon for 2, the Grand Cabanon for up to 5, the Hutte for up to 5 and the Bergerie for up to 6. The estate lists 20 cabanons, 16 huttes and 14 bergeries. For weddings it gives about 230 beds; for seminars it gives 150 people in separate beds or rooms. Lodges are run with hotel service.
Catering
Meals come from the estate's own restaurant, led by chef Matthieu Fontaine, who trained in Michelin-starred kitchens. Menus follow the event: lunches, picnic lunches, barbecues, gala dinners. The summer menu draws on Provençal and Mediterranean cooking; in winter the kitchen works around the truffle.
History and setting
Richerenches is known for its black truffle market, held every Saturday morning in winter. The estate opens to individual guests in a holiday-village format in summer (July 26 to August 21, 2027) and on weekends from mid-October to April. The rest of the time it is kept for private and company events.
