‘I have spent the last 25 years traversing the globe and can honestly say that this has
been the most magnificent weekend ever.’
For that special celebration, birthday, anniversary or just few a few days away with close friends Le Manoir is now available for very exclusive Country House Parties. These all inclusive events give your party full use of the whole house and grounds, plus a range of sporting events and activities all within the estate. A typical Country House Party will include:
All of the above 150 euros per person per night. We are also able to arrange at cost: Golf at La Bretesche, probably the most picturesque course in France. Special arrangements. Le Manoir ‘Accents’ For 2006 we are holding a series of Open House Parties to cater for individuals, couples and groups that share common interests. These will include Painting, Gardening, Golf and Cuisine. Our
part of southern Brittany has become a haven for many international
artists, no doubt attracted by the countryside and unspoiled River
Vilaine which flows close to Le Manoir. To coincide with the opening of
our Art Gallery we will be hosting Country House Weekends during which
guests can receive first class instruction and mentoring from amongst
others, Adrian Whittlsea formerly Senior Art Master at Downside School
who now lives and paints locally. Accent on Gardening. As you will have seen on this website, Le Manoir is surrounded by ‘Le Jardin Anglais’ one of the finest privately owned gardens in France. With some 400 David Austin roses as well as plants from all over the world the gardens are a haven of peace and beauty. Our Accent on Gardening House Parties will include tours of the gardens highlighting plants and their maintenance, rose growing and pruning as well as tours of other local gardens. Your hosts will include Eric Bellec, Head Gardener and depending on availability, Alan Mason, the television gardener who initially built the gardens 18 years ago. All delegates will receive a David Austin rose of their choice, as well as cuttings from the gardens. Accent on Golf. We are fortunate that within striking distance we have some great golf courses. Our particular favourites are La Bretesche, a parkland course that meanders around a stunning Chateau, and La Baule, one of the finest seaside courses in Europe. We organize at least two rounds, together with prizes and transportation if required. Again those partners who do not play can relax in the Spa, gardens or enjoy the other activities available. Accent on Cuisine. Here we concentrate on local dishes, guests will enjoy an early morning trip to the local market to purchase vegetables, fish and cheeses and will produce, together with Chef, a ‘Gala Dinner’. Our usual wine-tasting will be extended to include lectures on the nuances of French wines. Again partners who do not wish to join in are free to enjoy all other facilities. |
