Moulin Rive Gauche hosts study days, conferences, company evenings and weddings for up to 120 seated or 200 standing guests. Its event spaces stand in the park of Domaine la Roque, 200 m from the restaurant: a Garden Lounge for large receptions and two daylight seminar rooms for up to 100 participants. The venue is at 382 route de la Roque in Althen-des-Paluds, in the Vaucluse, 15 minutes from Avignon.
Seminars and company events
Two rooms cover most meeting formats. Salle Gaïa, the larger one, takes 20 to 100 people for plenaries, conventions and training, in U-shape, theatre or classroom layout, with a screen and daylight. Salle Atlas · Thémis takes up to 20 around a meeting table, with a screen, and opens onto the terrace and the park; it suits a board meeting or small-group training.
The study day is quoted on request with the room included, and a half day is possible. The standard programme runs from a welcome coffee with pastries at 8:30 am, a morning break at 10:30 am and lunch at 12:30 pm at the restaurant, with a starter, main course and dessert served on the terrace in good weather, to an afternoon break at 3:30 pm. From 6 pm the group can continue with a cocktail in the park, a dinner at the restaurant or an evening at the Garden Lounge. Invoicing through Chorus Pro, the French public procurement portal, is possible.
For conferences, launches and company parties, the Garden Lounge takes up to 200 standing and 120 seated, with a 45 m² bar and a built-in sound system.
Weddings and receptions
For a wedding, the drinks reception takes place under the trees of the park, then dinner and dancing move to the Garden Lounge, which has large bay windows onto the park and a sound system for your band or DJ. For fewer than 60 guests, the restaurant can host the event in its dining room or on its terrace. The Garden Lounge can also be hired alone on quotation, and the team shares a list of DJs, musicians and florists.

Accommodation
There are no bedrooms at the restaurant itself. The Hôtel du Moulin de la Roque, a few steps away, offers quiet rooms, some with a terrace, a swimming pool and the park around it. It lodges wedding guests and multi-day seminar groups, with a dedicated rate on request.
Catering
The kitchen of Moulin Rive Gauche, known for its wood-fire cooking, caters the events, though other trusted caterers can be used. For receptions it offers three formats: a standing cocktail dinner with hot and cold stations through to dessert, a traditional plated dinner with a tailored menu, or a cocktail with stations followed by a plated main course. The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner and on Sunday for lunch.
History and setting
The restaurant and its event spaces share the park of the Domaine la Roque, several hectares of parkland in the plain between Avignon and Carpentras. The restaurant has a terrace under lime trees for summer and a fireplace for the seasonal menu in winter, and the park gives shade for outdoor breaks and cocktails.
Getting there
The venue lies between Avignon and Carpentras, off the D942, 15 minutes from Avignon. Parking is free on site, with 80 spaces.
