Un Petit Coin de Paradis rents out two reception rooms for weddings, birthdays, christenings, garden parties, association parties, company meetings and seminars, for up to 150 seated guests or 200 at a standing reception. The venue covers 315 square meters with a terrace, set in a 4,700 square meter park with trees, in Mehun-sur-Yèvre, between Bourges and Vierzon in the Cher.
Seminars and company events
For a company convention or a meeting, the two rooms allow a simple layout: one room for the working session and the other for a business lunch. The rooms can be rented by the half day, with keys available from 8 am, 1 pm or 6 pm, or by the day, any day from Monday to Sunday. Weekday hire, by the day, half day or evening, is offered all year.
The park can host an outdoor session, a team activity or a garden party in fine weather. A large car park on site makes arrival easy for teams coming by car from Bourges and Vierzon.
Weddings and receptions
The owners created the venue after their own search for a wedding venue in 2022, when they found few reception halls in the area. The park suits a secular ceremony, and the terrace a drinks reception. Inside, a corner is set aside for a dance floor with soft lighting, and a photobooth area can be arranged in the room or in the garden.
For a weekend, the rooms are handed over from Thursday evening, Friday morning or Saturday morning until Sunday evening or Monday morning, depending on the option chosen. From May to September, weekends are rented as three-day bookings, Friday to Sunday. For a day booking, the rooms are available on the morning of the event for decoration, then until the next morning.
Rooms and capacities
The large room covers 165 square meters and the small room 80 square meters. Together they hold 150 guests at a seated meal or 200 at a standing reception, leaving space for a dance floor. Both rooms have plenty of daylight, heating and a fireplace, and are accessible to guests with reduced mobility. Tables and chairs are provided. Outdoor lounge furniture can be set up to create a relaxation area.
Catering
The rooms come with a kitchen that the client's caterer can use. There is no in-house restaurant. The venue can put clients in touch with partner caterers, DJs and florists. Tableware can be rented as an option if the caterer does not supply it, and the venue also rents decoration, standing tables and chair covers and offers a decoration service.
History and setting
The venue occupies the former restaurant La Ribotte, taken over and converted by Sylvie and Loïc. It sits in the town of Mehun-sur-Yèvre, known for its porcelain manufacture, and remains close to Saint-Doulchard and Marmagne. The park of 4,700 square meters gives space for outdoor events while the venue stays within the town.
Getting there
The address is 13A route du Paradis, 18500 Mehun-sur-Yèvre. Bourges is about 10 minutes away by car, and Vierzon is a short drive in the other direction. Bourges station, with trains to Paris and Orléans, is the main rail arrival point for guests. The venue has its own large car park.
