Le Mas d'Entremont hosts seminars, residential meetings, study days, product launches, receptions and weddings, from groups of 20 up to 120 people in its meeting rooms and up to 250 guests seated outdoors. The estate lies at 315 Route d'Avignon in Célony, on the northern edge of Aix-en-Provence, and can be hired in full with its 20 bedrooms.
Seminars and company events
The team plans meeting days and evenings, supplies the equipment and spaces, and runs the catering. The meeting rooms take daylight and can be set up in several layouts. Equipment includes two full HD projectors with HDMI and a screen, three flipcharts and a 200-watt sound system with four wireless microphones. Parking for up to 100 cars is included.
Between sessions, groups can use the fitness room, the outdoor pool (open in spring and summer), the tennis court, the pétanque pitch and the 3-hectare park, which lends itself to team building. Through partner agencies in Aix-en-Provence, the estate also arranges activities on site, such as olympiads, laser games, cooking workshops, cocktail workshops and wellness sessions.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are sold as a three-day, two-night package in high season, from Friday at 6 pm to Sunday at 6 pm, and the same package is available on weekdays. A one-day hire runs from 10 am on the day to 4 am the following morning. Ceremonies and the wine reception take place in the park. Music is allowed until 10 pm in the gardens and around the pool, and until 4 am in the dance room. Dance floor lighting is supplied by the couple's DJ. A garden area near the pool can be set up with tables for a Sunday brunch.
Rooms and capacities
The outdoor terrace, paved in natural stone under century-old lime trees, seats 250 for dinner. The covered terrace measures 120 square meters, with large bay windows on both sides, old beams and a tree that grows through the room. It holds 120 in theatre style for a meeting, 130 for a seated dinner or 200 for a cocktail, and becomes the dance room at weddings. The Patio room covers 100 square meters, takes 60 in theatre style, and can be set for 110 seated or 140 standing. Two smaller lounges serve as breakout rooms for up to 25 each. The garden terrace called Le Mas au Jardin can take up to two food trucks.
Accommodation
The estate has 20 double rooms, including three junior suites, and sleeps up to 50 people with extra beds. Couples can book all rooms as a package, or guests can book directly with the estate.
Catering
The estate offers three formats: a cocktail of 18 savory and sweet pieces, a cold buffet with cheese and charcuterie from a local cheesemonger, smoked salmon, salads and quiches, and a three-course seated banquet. Wines come from Domaine Virant, served on a basis of one bottle for three guests, with soft drinks and coffee. Menus change with the season.
History and setting
The house worked for decades as a hotel and restaurant, and its owners cite more than 60 years of experience in hosting private and business events. It is now offered for hire as a whole estate. The park mixes lime trees, maples, oaks and hackberries, with fountains, water features and a landscaped pond. The main pool is overlooked by a fountain carved from Rognes stone.
Getting there
The estate sits a few minutes by car from the center of Aix-en-Provence, on the Route d'Avignon. Free, secure parking is closed every night. The official site does not give train or airport times, so check transfers with the team.
