Tropicana Events hosts seminars, conferences, team building days, gala dinners, product launches and weddings for up to 150 seated guests, with the whole estate reserved for a single event. The venue is a 6-hectare garden estate at Roquebrune-sur-Argens, in the Var department of southern France, between Cannes and Saint-Tropez.
Seminars and company events
The estate takes general meetings, seminars, incentives, year-end dinners, conventions, product launches and corporate photo or film shoots. Work sessions take place in the main hall, which has a projection screen, a professional sound system and Wi-Fi. A turnkey option brings together setup, equipment, catering and activities so that the client team can focus on content. Activities nearby include canoeing and kayaking on the Argens river, hiking, mountain biking, pétanque, horse riding and a wine route. The venue follows an environmental charter based on local seasonal caterers, no single-use plastic and waste sorting, and every supplier must sign up to it.
Weddings and receptions
Secular ceremonies take place on a peninsula in the middle of the lake, reached on foot from the hall, or in the gardens at the foot of the rock. The welcome drink is served at the bar and terrace above the lake and its waterfall, and dinner in the hall for up to 150 seated. For weekend dates from June to September, the venue advises booking 18 months to two years ahead. Weekdays and spring or fall dates are usually easier to secure.
Rooms and capacities
The reception hall is circular and fully glazed, with 235 square meters that open visually onto the garden from late April to late October. It seats 150. Capacity for a standing cocktail is given on request. Outdoor spaces include the lake peninsula, the bar terrace, the gardens below the Rocher de Roquebrune, used for photos and outdoor drinks, and a palm grove spread across the estate. The hall has a caterer's kitchen with a cold room, restrooms, indoor and outdoor lighting, benches and outdoor seating, and step-free access.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms at the venue. The neighboring Tropicana Lodge, a four-star eco-lodge, and the guesthouses, hotels, holiday residences and campsites of the area can house guests.
Catering
The venue keeps an address book of caterers, but clients may bring the caterer of their choice. Photographers, videographers, florists and decorators are also chosen freely. The DJ is the one exception and must come from a list of seven professionals approved by the venue.
History and setting
The venue opened in 1997. The setting mixes tropical gardens, Provençal terraces, a lake with a waterfall and the red rock of the Rocher de Roquebrune, which rises above the estate. The Argens river and the Mediterranean coast are close by.
