The Domaine du Moulin Neuf can host residential seminars, working days, banquets, family gatherings and weddings for groups of 10 to 260 people. Its main reception room seats 120 for a conference or a dinner and takes 180 for a standing cocktail, and its 50 cottages sleep up to 260 guests. The residence stands beside the Moulin Neuf lake in Malansac, close to Rochefort-en-Terre in the Morbihan department of Brittany, and is run by the Terres de France group.
Seminars and company events
The residence sells working days, residential seminars, conventions, banquets, gala evenings, incentive trips and product launches, with a dedicated sales contact who follows the file from the quote to the departure. The site states that Terres de France has hosted seminars and incentives here for more than ten years.
Meeting rooms come with a screen, a video projector, a sound system with microphone, a flipchart, notepads, pens, mineral water and free Wi-Fi. A lectern, technical assistance and video conferencing can be added on request.
The team can arrange incentive activities in the area: visits to Breton castles and listed sites, horse riding, cycling rallies, hiking, orienteering, quad and 4x4 outings, canoe and kayak races, golf, boat trips on the Gulf of Morbihan and visits to local producers. Horse riding and walking trails are available on site, and the Moulin Neuf Aventure leisure park sits next to the residence.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, family reunions, birthdays, christenings, communions, club trips and gatherings of friends are all listed as group stays. Guests can sleep on site, eat at the restaurant and use the reception room for the party, so the whole group stays in one place for a weekend or a longer stay. A caterer can also serve meals in the room.

Accommodation

The home page describes them as 45 m² with a 15 m² terrace; the seminar page gives a range of 30 to 50 m². Six cottage types are offered, including one adapted for guests with reduced mobility. Each has a kitchen, a living and dining area, a bathroom, separate toilet, a flat-screen television, a desk and a balcony or private terrace. In all, the cottages sleep up to 260 people. A heated outdoor pool, open by season, and a spa are on site.
Catering
The on-site restaurant, Le Comptoir de Lanvaux, is open all year with an à la carte menu or half board. It cooks seasonal, local and organic produce and has a panoramic view over the lake. It takes group meals, banquets and family parties, and the chef prepares seminar menus from classic to more elaborate dishes. A buffet breakfast is served from 8 am to 10 am. On the ground floor, the Liquidambar bar serves boards of local products and drinks, with a terrace over the lake.
History and setting
The cottages sit beside the Moulin Neuf pond, in the countryside of eastern Morbihan. Rochefort-en-Terre, listed among the Plus Beaux Villages de France, is close by and draws visitors to its Christmas lights each winter. The residence uses solar panels and a heat pump to heat the pool and spa, and low-energy lighting across the site.
Getting there
The residence is at Lieu-dit Sous le Bois, 56220 Malansac. The Gulf of Morbihan is about 30 minutes away, the forest of Brocéliande about 30 minutes, and the beaches of Damgan, Pénestin and Billiers about 35 minutes.
