20/04/2025Looking for a conference venue that breaks the mold and offers your delegates something truly special? The magnificent Eyrignac Manor and its renowned gardens in Périgord Noir might just be the breath of fresh air your next corporate event needs.
Set in the heart of the Dordogne, this exceptional venue offers a refreshing alternative to stuffy hotel meeting rooms, surrounding your delegates with 10 hectares of meticulously sculpted topiary gardens that have been drawing in visitors from far and wide for generations. There's something about discussing business strategies while surrounded by artistic plant sculptures and pristine green landscapes that elevates the entire experience.
While you'll certainly be wowed by the natural splendor, Eyrignac doesn't compromise on practicality. The estate's spacious Orangerie provides all the modern conference amenities you'd expect, seamlessly blending the inspiring outdoor environment with the technical facilities essential for productive business gatherings.
With Fête24's conference production expertise backing your event, you can transform this already exceptional venue into something truly unforgettable. So, let's explore what makes Eyrignac special and how our services can help you make the most of this one-of-a-kind setting.
Why Escape to Eyrignac Manor for Your Corporate Gathering?
Located in the picturesque Salignac-Eyvigues commune of the Dordogne (24590), Eyrignac Manor and Gardens offers that rare commodity in today's business world: space to think.
While major cities certainly have their advantages, there's something truly valuable about removing your team from the urban day-to-day hustle to focus without distractions. Despite feeling worlds away from office pressures, Eyrignac remains remarkably accessible at just a shade over 2 hours from both Bordeaux and Toulouse, 1h30 from Bergerac, and under an hour from Brive-la-Gaillarde.
Research consistently shows that natural environments boost creative thinking and problem-solving abilities, and that’s something this place boasts in abundance. When your team steps away from familiar surroundings into Eyrignac's sculpted green spaces, you're in the perfect place to shift mindsets and attack problems as a group from new angles.
We think you’ll find that the carefully designed landscapes have a way of opening up new perspectives and encouraging the kind of lateral thinking that rarely emerges in your bog-standard conference rooms.
Eyrignac Manor On-Site Corporate Event Facilities
While the focus at this venue naturally gravitates to the outdoor spaces on offer, there’s still an impressive corporate offering sitting at the heart of the manor. The Orangerie boasts over 250m² of versatile space that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern functionality. You can accommodate up to 250 attendees (depending on your preferred setup), and it comes equipped with all the essentials: tables, chairs, flipcharts, a video projector, screen, and reliable WiFi throughout.
What makes the Orangerie particularly special is its flexibility. Whether you're planning a boardroom-style discussion for key stakeholders, a theatre-style presentation for a larger audience, or breakout zones for collaborative work, the space can be completely adapted to your requirements.
And unlike many historic venues that offer atmosphere at the expense of practicality, Eyrignac doesn't force you to choose between character and comfort.
Garden-Inspired Team-Building Experiences for Employees
The true magic of Eyrignac as a conference venue lies in what happens when the formal sessions end. Your team will have access to 10 hectares of world-famous sculpted gardens and a 200-hectare forest domain – perfect for clearing minds between intensive work periods or for structured team-building activities.
The on-site restaurant and tea room "Côté Jardins" provides excellent catering options throughout your event, ensuring your attendees remain energised and focused. For something truly special, consider organising one of Eyrignac's signature garden picnics, combining fine food with fresh air.
What truly sets Eyrignac apart are the unique team activities that leverage the exceptional setting. From garden treasure hunts that promote collaborative problem-solving to centering Tai Chi sessions in tranquil green spaces, these experiences forge stronger bonds than any typical corporate exercise.
If you’re interested in the estate's heritage, you can also book private tours with owner Patrick Sermadiras, offering fascinating insights into Eyrignac's storied past, while botanical walks and topiary demonstrations provide hands-on learning experiences that subtly reinforce teamwork principles.
While these opportunities can be nice diversions to break up the day, they could also be valuable opportunities to strengthen your corporate culture in an environment that naturally encourages openness and connection.
Accommodation Options Near Eyrignac
One drawback, if there is one, is the lack of accommodation at this venue, should you wish to host a two-day affair (or book a team-building weekend). There are, however, plenty of accommodation options nearby in the form of hotels, gîtes, and holiday rentals. They include but aren’t limited to:
These are just a selection, and there are plenty more within a 10 to 15-mile radius of Eyrignac.
