Maison Mandel hosts small seminars, workshops, team building, afterworks, pop-up showrooms, private dinners and intimate weddings. It takes 25 people seated in conference format, 18 seated for a meal and up to 45 standing for a cocktail. The house covers 290 square meters with a 60-square-meter terrace and five bedrooms, and is hired in full. It stands at 27 rue Georges Mandel, in the Saint-Seurin district of Bordeaux.
Seminars and company events
The house is offered to companies for confidential, small-scale events: management seminars, team days, training sessions, coaching, workshops and creative retreats. Brands use it for pop-up stores, showrooms, private sales and product presentations, and teams book it for afterworks and client evenings. Photo shoots, film shoots and brand content are also hosted.
The format suits a group that wants a home rather than a hotel meeting room: the plenary takes place in the living room, breakouts spread into the other rooms, and breaks happen on the terrace. Because the bedrooms are on site, a seminar can run over two days with part of the team staying the night.
Weddings and receptions
For private clients, Maison Mandel hosts intimate weddings, welcome dinners on the eve of a wedding, birthdays, christenings, communions, bar and bat mitzvahs, engagements, civil partnerships, baby showers and family meals. The same figures apply: 18 guests seated or up to 45 standing.
Rooms and capacities
The ground floor has a large living room, an open kitchen and a dining room, all with daylight. Behind the Bordeaux stone facade, a 60-square-meter terrace lined with plants opens onto a small garden. Capacities stated by the house are 25 seated in conference layout, 18 seated at table and 45 standing; the standing figure is adjusted for each event.
Accommodation
The five air-conditioned bedrooms are spread over three floors: Dune on the first floor, Front de mer, Formentera and Bois-Plage on the second, and Bois de rose on the third. They share three bathrooms, one with a bathtub, and there is a toilet on each floor. The house sleeps up to 10 people. It is also hired for private stays when no event is planned. Children and dogs are welcome, and a travel cot is available.
Catering
There is no in-house restaurant. Clients can bring their own suppliers, or the house arranges a private chef, a caterer, a bartender, a musician or a magician from its network of partners. A private chef can cook on site, subject to conditions.
History and setting
The house is a bourgeois residence from the 18th century. Its archives have not been found, so much of its history is unknown. Marie, the owner, opened it for events and stays and decorated it with natural materials, vintage furniture and soft colors. Guest reviews cited on the site mention seminars of entrepreneurs' networks, a wedding dinner and weekend stays.
Getting there
The house is in the Saint-Seurin district of central Bordeaux. Ask the house for the best tram stop and parking options when you book.
