Description

The Domaine de La Ruade is a magnificent room located in the heart of an 8-hectare estate of greenery designed entirely for hosting your events. Its rustic-chic spirit will allow you to experience an unforgettable weekend in a natural and exclusive setting. Here an old hay cart, there the old winegrowers' barrels keeping company with the pretty rocking chairs that are just waiting for your guests to blossom... Your children will be able to wander around the estate and will be tempted by the swings hanging from the branches of one of the estate's old oaks... If you want to organize your wedding, a birthday, a family celebration, a private evening for yourself or for your company, the Domaine de la Ruade opens its doors to you

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Qu'est-ce qui rend le Domaine de La Ruade différent des autres lieux de mariage ?

Total freedom. With us, there's no imposed caterer, no corkage fee, and no curfew. We offer exclusive use of the estate from Friday at 2 pm to Monday at 10 am, with 44 beds included in the price: your guests stay on-site, without having to look for a hotel. The estate also features a mini-farm with Shetland ponies and a horse, and a flower farm where some of the flowers for your bouquets are grown.

Peut-on organiser sa cérémonie directement sur le domaine ?

Yes, our 3.5-hectare park, planted with centuries-old oak trees, is perfectly suited for an outdoor secular ceremony. In case of rain, the 210 m² hall takes over without stress or last-minute changes of decor.

Combien de temps à l'avance faut-il réserver ?

Our dates fill up quickly during peak season, from May to September. A 50% deposit confirms your booking, with the balance due one year before the event. We advise you to contact us as soon as you have a date in mind, even a tentative one, to check availability.

Sommes-nous vraiment libres de choisir tous nos prestataires ?

Yes, absolutely. No set list, no commission charged by the venue. You choose your caterer, DJ, photographer, and florist as you wish. Our only requirement: that the caterer uses our fully equipped professional kitchen, including a 10-level oven and dishwasher.

Où dorment nos invités pendant le week-end ?

On site, there are 7 wooden chalets and the large "Suite des Mariés" gîte, offering 44 beds included in the price. A free camping area also welcomes vans, tents, and motorhomes for those who prefer to sleep under the stars.

Les animaux sont-ils acceptés au Domaine de La Ruade ?

Yes, within reason. The property itself has free-range chickens, so we simply ask that dogs remain kept under control and supervised during your stay.

Y a-t-il une limite horaire pour la soirée ?

None. Unlike many places that impose a curfew, the party continues with us for as long as you want, without extra cost or negotiation.

Le domaine est-il accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite ?

Yes. The reception hall is entirely on one level, with access and sanitary facilities meeting PMR standards, and one of our chalets is also adapted.

Que peuvent faire nos invités le lendemain du mariage ?

The estate remains private until Monday at 10am, so Sunday is a real day of recovery: brunch, a walk in the park, time with the mini-farm, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet before hitting the road again.

Quel est le petit détail que les couples adorent découvrir sur place ?

The pétanque court and the hammock area in the shade of the centuries-old oak trees. Two simple places, never highlighted in photos, but which often become the favorite spot for guests on Saturday afternoons.
