Manoir La Ville Durand hosts executive committee meetings, strategy seminars, team building days and small private events. The manor itself takes groups of up to 14, and with its two apartments the property sleeps 22, which is the largest group the site mentions for a seminar. The house is a 14th-century Breton manor in the countryside of Binic-Étables-sur-Mer, in the Côtes-d'Armor, a few minutes from the sea.
Seminars and company events
The manor is aimed at companies looking for a quiet, private place for a board meeting, an executive committee, a strategy seminar or a team day. It provides an equipped meeting room with a video projector, bright living spaces for informal work, Sonos speakers and dedicated technical help. Groups can sleep on site. Half-day and full-day formulas are offered, and the team can add a private chef or caterer, a boat trip, team building, bike rental, a cooking class, an escape game or horse rides. The owners also build tailored programs around Brittany, handling bookings and activities.
Weddings and receptions
The manor is rented for small private occasions: wedding ceremonies, hen and stag weekends, family reunions, christenings, birthdays and end-of-year gatherings. Private hire covers up to 14 people, so it suits an intimate ceremony or a family weekend rather than a large reception.
Rooms and capacities
The manor's main living room has a piano and opens onto the house's other living spaces. A semi-professional kitchen supports a private chef or caterer. The meeting room is equipped with a video projector; its size is not published. Outside, an enclosed garden has tables, sun loungers and a barbecue, and the manor is arranged around a closed square courtyard.
Accommodation
The manor sleeps 14: three double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and a dormitory for eight. Two apartments add eight more beds. Each apartment covers 40 m² and sleeps four, with a double bedroom in the tower, a sofa bed, a kitchen and a pergola. When the manor is not rented as a whole, three 30 m² guest rooms are offered with breakfast included and a host table in the evening.
Catering
There is no restaurant. Meals are prepared by a private chef or a caterer booked through the manor, or by the group in the semi-professional kitchen. Wine and local produce tastings can be arranged.
History and setting
The oldest known record of La Ville Durand dates from 1345 and already mentions a chapel dedicated to Saint James. The manor was a noble house at the center of a farming estate with a mill, a windmill and a dovecote. It grew between the 14th and 19th centuries around a fully enclosed square courtyard lined with living quarters, towers and former farm buildings. Two round towers frame the main building; the right-hand one may date from the late 14th century and holds a wooden spiral staircase. The estate also runs a riding stable, the Écurie La Ville Durand, with rides and stays for riders and horses.
Getting there
The address is 1 rue Favigo, 22680 Binic-Étables-sur-Mer. The manor lies in the countryside behind Binic, a seaside town on the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, a few minutes from the beaches. Saint-Brieuc is the nearest large town.
