Manoir de la Bégaudière in Mont-Dol, between Saint-Malo and Mont-Saint-Michel, hosts study days, residential seminars, company evenings and weddings. A 110 square meter stone plenary room and an attached glass-roofed hall serve working groups, and seven independent gîtes sleep up to 44 guests on site.
Seminars and company events
The manor has two main rooms for professional events. The plenary room has exposed stone and beams and covers 110 square meters. The attached glass-roofed hall, built like an orangery, adds 60 square meters. Both can be set up in U-shape, theater or classroom layouts. The study day formula includes the seminar room, two coffee breaks and lunch. Paper boards, paper, water on the tables and secure Wi-Fi are provided. A projection screen and a video projector are available as options.
The residential formula adds accommodation in the seven gîtes, which colleagues share, with individual bedding and a common bathroom and living area. It also includes breakfast at the manor, two meals and two coffee breaks. For work in subgroups, the gîtes can be rearranged as small workshop spaces next to the plenary room and the glass-roofed hall.
Company evenings are possible as well: product launches, cocktail receptions, gala dinners and client evenings. For a small afterwork, the glass-roofed hall or the plenary room can be rented alone in the evening. A larger event requires full privatisation of the estate. Team building options in the region include sand yachting, a crossing of the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, a treasure hunt in Saint-Malo, regattas in Cancale and a 2CV rally.
Weddings and receptions
The reception hall seats up to 110 guests on 110 square meters. It is available only when the whole manor is privatised. It comes with a dedicated caterer's kitchen, Napoleon III chairs, round tables for ten and rectangular tables for six to eight. A head table seats ten to eighteen. The glass-roofed hall next to it suits a cocktail or a secular ceremony, and both rooms are heated in winter. The courtyard and gardens are used for cocktails and photographs. The estate also takes birthdays and family gatherings.
Rooms and capacities
The plenary room (110 m²) and the glass-roofed hall (60 m²) are the two seminar spaces. The reception hall seats 110. The courtyard and gardens, a caterer's area and private parking complete the event setup.
Accommodation
The gîtes carry the names of Breton navigators and privateers: Le Surcouf, Le Chateaubriand, Le De Kerguelen, Le Duguay Trouin, Le Jacques Cartier, Le Marion Dufresne and Le Mahé de la Bourdonnais. The site also lists a Chambre de Bougainville. Each unit has a sitting area with a television, a private bathroom with a bath or a shower, a fully equipped kitchen and free Wi-Fi. The studios have a fireplace. Together the estate sleeps up to 44.
Catering
Lunch is part of the study day formula, and the residential formula includes two meals plus breakfast. The reception hall has its own caterer's office. The kitchens in each gîte also allow guests to prepare their own meals.
History and setting
The manor is a 17th-century house that was long the home of tenant farmers working the land on this side of the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel. It stands in Mont-Dol, a few minutes from Saint-Malo.
