Mas Saint Gabriel can host seminars, conferences, company receptions and weddings for groups from a few dozen guests up to 600 people inside its arena enclosure. The estate is privately hired by space, with two reception halls opening onto patios, a riverside pavilion and a real bullring. It stands in Marsillargues, in the Hérault department, between Nîmes and Montpellier.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells professional meetings, seminars and conferences as well as private hire for company parties. The Patio des Oliviers is the room the venue itself suggests for seminars and conferences: a heated hall of 285 square meters with a fireplace, an entrance hall and its own restrooms. It seats up to 160 guests for a meal indoors and takes up to 200 for a standing lunch.
For a larger plenary or a gala dinner, the Patio de la Fontaine offers a heated hall of 450 square meters with a 110-square-meter mezzanine, which can serve as a break-out or lounge area. Indoors it seats up to 250 and takes up to 350 standing.
The arena suits a company event with a show or a team activity. It seats up to 250 guests and holds up to 600 people within its walls. The site lists equestrian shows by Renaud Vinuesa, sports and team-building activities, a dance floor and a pétanque ground among the services it can provide.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are one of the main uses of the estate. Couples can hold the ceremony outdoors in the gardens, then move to one of the two patios for the cocktail hour and dinner. The Patio de la Fontaine is the larger option: its paved courtyard of 350 square meters has a fountain and a rose garden, and the green space around it covers about 4,000 square meters. Outdoors it takes up to 500 guests for a cocktail reception and up to 400 for a seated meal.
The Pavillon is an outdoor space on the bank of the Vidourle river for up to 150 guests. The estate presents it for christenings, brunches and smaller summer gatherings, and it can also host the day-after brunch of a wedding.

History and setting
The main building is a 17th-century master's house. The estate draws on the Camargue tradition, with its bullring and horses, and on the country life of the old Languedoc landowners. The grounds lie between the sea and the coastal lagoons, with views over the Languedoc countryside.
Getting there
Marsillargues lies between Nîmes and Montpellier, a few kilometers from the Gard border. Montpellier is the nearest large city. The coach parking makes it practical to bring a group by bus from a train station or an airport. Ask the team for directions and transfer options when you prepare your event.
