The Manade Cavallini can host an incentive day, a training seminar, a product launch, an association meeting or a private reception for 25 to 350 guests. Events take place in a renovated former wine cellar on a family ranch that breeds Camargue bulls and horses. The property covers more than 250 hectares on the Arles road, about 9 km from Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, inside the Camargue regional nature park.
Seminars and company events
The reception hall is a converted cellar that takes up to 350 people. It can be set up for a seminar, a meeting room layout, a cocktail or a party, and fitted with lighting, a sound system, a stage and a screen on request. The ranch accepts professional events from 25 guests.
The Cavallini family designs Camargue days for groups, combining a visit of the ranch with partner activities. The ranch is visited from March to the end of October in a cart fitted with benches, crossing marshes, rice fields and meadows to see the herds with the gardians, the local cowboys. These days suit an incentive or team-building program, and can end with a dinner in the hall.
Weddings and receptions
The ranch hosts private receptions for birthdays, christenings, family reunions, wedding anniversaries and family meals. Evenings can follow a Camargue day, with a typical Camargue meal and live entertainment, such as a gypsy flamenco group or a Provençal group in Arles costume. A DJ or a Provençal storyteller can also be booked. The site does not mention wedding ceremonies, so ask the family directly.
Rooms and capacities
The converted cellar is the only event room listed, with up to 350 guests. Its layout is set for each event: a cocktail, a banquet, a party, a seminar or a meeting. The ranch land and its herds form the setting for daytime activities.
Accommodation
The Mas de Pioch, on the same property, offers guest rooms in a Camargue and Provençal style. They take 2 to 6 people each, with private bathrooms and television; Wi-Fi is available in the shared areas. Four gîtes for 4 people and smaller gîtes for 2 are let by the week or for at least four nights. Guests have a large pool under the pines, a garden, a terrace, table tennis and a pétanque ground. The number of rooms is not published, so a large group will need hotels in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer or Arles as well.
Catering
Catering is handled by the ranch and cooked on site. The menu is agreed with you in advance, according to the type of reception.
History and setting
The Cavallini family runs the ranch as a working farm. Its herds follow the Camargue calendar: calves are born in winter, branded during the ferrades in May and June, and the bulls take part in the races held in arenas across Provence and Languedoc in spring and summer. The ranch works with the regional nature park on responsible tourism.
The domain closes for an annual break in winter. In 2026 it reopened on March 27, while the gîtes stay open year-round on request.
Getting there
The Manade Cavallini and the Mas de Pioch are on the D570, the Arles road, 13460 Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, about 9 km from the town. A car or a coach is needed; Arles is the nearest large town on the same road.
