Moulin Pley hosts residential seminars for 10 to 30 participants, plenary sessions for up to 80 people and intimate weddings of 45 to 50 guests, on a 7-hectare riverside estate in the Perche. The restored 18th-century mill stands in Condé-sur-Huisne, in the Orne, 145 km from Paris.
Seminars and company events
The work space is a separate wood-frame building called Les Carrés, clad in chestnut and independent from the mill. It holds the plenary room, two meeting rooms and a lounge for breaks. All rooms have video projectors, screens, paperboards and Wi-Fi, and a 2 m interactive touchscreen was added in December 2024. The domain accepts residential seminars from ten participants, up to 17 guests in single rooms or 30 in twin rooms. It also sells a day format and a 24-hour residential format, both on request.
Weddings and receptions
The estate takes intimate country weddings of 45 to 50 guests. The mill is privatized as a whole, with a reception area of 90 m² that includes a 60 m² veranda, two lounges, a professional kitchen and terraces by the water. A 100 m² terrace has two pergolas with adjustable slats, and a 230 m² paved forecourt serves for arrivals and cocktails.
Rooms and capacities
The Far In Son plenary room covers 100 m² and seats 80 in theatre layout or 25 in a U shape. Le Carré des Sons covers 39 m² and takes 16 in a U shape, with strong natural light that can be dimmed. Le Carré des Gruaux covers 19 m² for five people, usable as a breakout room. Le Carré aux Farines is a lounge with a billiard table, a stove and a south-facing trellis for breaks. A small fitness room, Le Carré des Fans, is also on site.
Accommodation
The mill has ten bedrooms with 22 beds, plus one accessible room, on its upper floors. The walls are finished with lime and natural pigments, the bedding is organic wool and cotton, and each room is named after a cereal.
Catering
Meals are served in the veranda on the garden level, with a seasonal menu built on products from the Perche. Vegetarian menus are available across a seminar, and the kitchen takes intolerances and allergies into account when told early enough. In summer, grills are served from the summer kitchen on the terrace.
History and setting
The site combines the mill and its former industrial spirit with a modern annex. Water captured for its energy in the 18th century now drives two water-to-water heat pumps, and solar panels have covered the seminar building since June 2024. A fish pass was built on the Natura 2000 river in 2017. The grounds include an orchard, a donkey paddock and about 30 closed parking spaces.
Getting there
The domain is under two hours from Paris and 145 km away. A greenway for walking and cycling starts 200 m from the mill.
