Family meal

A family meal in the countryside, without carrying everything at home

Bringing the family together is often much more than a meal: you need space, children to be looked after, dishes to think about, people coming from far away and a relaxed atmosphere to preserve. The estate makes it possible to host in a natural setting, with a real countryside house and activities around it.

Family gathering

A simple, generous meal adapted to the generations present

Instead of preparing the whole house, managing shopping, washing-up and tidying, you can rely on a place already organised to welcome a group. You remain available for your loved ones.

  • Family meal for the day, afternoon or weekend
  • Large room, terrace and outdoor spaces depending on the season
  • Menu defined together, with vegetable garden produce when possible
  • Accommodation possible to avoid late returns or long journeys

In practice

What we can organise for you

Each project is built around your group: duration, meals, level of comfort, sleeping needs, rhythm of the day, budget and desired atmosphere.

Less pressure on the person hosting

Instead of preparing the whole house, managing shopping, washing-up and tidying, you can rely on a place already organised to welcome a group. You remain available for your loved ones.

A place suited to children

Children can enjoy the play area, outdoor spaces and games room depending on their age. Adults can stay at the table more peacefully, without everyone being shut in a single room.

A real countryside breathing space

Between courses, everyone can go outside, walk, play pétanque, see the ponds or simply get some fresh air. The meal becomes a longer and softer moment.

Possibility to extend the stay

For families spread out geographically, the rooms, glamping tents and mobile home make it possible to turn the meal into a short stay, without forcing everyone to drive home.

Meals & table

Meals adapted to the group, not a fixed formula

The meal can be very simple, family-style, more generous or more festive. The idea is not to impose a single menu, but to find a realistic, convivial formula adapted to your event. Depending on the season, the vegetable garden and local produce can also inspire part of the table.

We can work around a seated meal, a buffet, an aperitif dinner, sharing platters, a burger evening, a tacos or fajitas format, a more Périgord-inspired menu, or a more classic proposal based around meat, fish, poultry or a vegetarian dish.

Classic family lunch

A reassuring format with aperitif, main course, dessert and coffee, suited to intergenerational meals and simple reunions.

Sharing buffet

More flexible for groups who want to move around, talk and eat at their own pace, especially with children.

Platters and aperitif dinner

Ideal for a less formal moment: varied platters, vegetables, cheeses, cured meats, spreads and seasonal produce.

Garden-inspired meal depending on the season

Heirloom tomatoes, courgettes, cucumbers, strawberries, raspberries, herbs, orchard fruit: when the season allows it, the table also tells the story of the estate.
