Domaine de Fontenay
About
The Domaine de Fontenay accommodates up to 53 people across 18 rooms, making it one of the rare guesthouses in the Pays de la Loire built to handle large groups. Located in Fontenay-sur-Vègre, in the Sarthe department, the estate sits less than an hour from the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit, a proximity appreciated by motorsport enthusiasts. The property features an outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub, a fireplace for cooler evenings, and a converted barn that serves as a communal hall — ideal for group meals or shared activities. Wi-Fi and a dishwasher are included, and a selection of games is available on site. The layout of the estate allows each family or sub-group to have its own private space while still sharing the common areas, an advantage particularly noted by families bringing together very different generations. The 26 Google reviews display a 5/5 rating: family groups of 28 spanning all age ranges, works committees, and birthday celebrations each find what they're looking for. The immediate natural surroundings — the bocage countryside of the Sarthe, rural quiet — stand in sharp contrast to the bustle of conventional event venues, while remaining easily accessible from major roads. For seminars, family reunions, or friends' weekends requiring accommodation, communal catering, and shared living spaces under one roof, the Domaine de Fontenay offers a configuration that is hard to find in the region.

We stayed here with a group of guests attending the 24hrs of Le Mans. The property was amazing and the surrounding areas were absolutely stunning. Highly recommend!
A magical place that you absolutely must book! Perfect for small groups (birthdays, family reunions, corporate seminars of around 30 people) as everyone can have their own space, and the barn is ideal for hosting large events such as weddings, banquets, festivals... don't look for the swimming pool but rather the Nordic bath and the private beach 🤫
We spent four nights at Logis de Fonteney for a family reunion, and this stay will remain a wonderful memory for all of us. There were 28 of us, ranging in age from 1 to 80, divided into six families, and the venue was absolutely ideal for accommodating everyone in great comfort. Louis-Henri was a real asset in organizing this event: always available, attentive, and full of great ideas. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy high-quality services, including catering suggestions, the superb tour of Château Dobert right next door, as well as all the help he provided with equipment and games. We used both areas of the estate, which allowed everyone to have their own space while sharing genuine moments together. The decor is magnificent, the amenities are top-notch, and the outdoor spaces are perfect for soccer games, Olympic-style competitions, leisurely breakfasts, family aperitifs… and of course, swimming when the weather permits! If you're looking for a place to create beautiful memories with family or friends, this is the perfect spot. A huge thank you again to Louis-Henri for his warm welcome and kindness!
Domaine de Fontenay is a truly beautiful place. Our team received a warm welcome in this historic setting. Thank you to Louis-Henri for his hospitality. The estate is well-maintained and renovated. We had a wonderful time there during our seminar. Thank you!
We booked the cottage for a stag weekend, and it was fantastic. The setting is truly magnificent, the bedrooms are very comfortable, the bathrooms are modern, and the fully equipped kitchen is ready to accommodate everyone! Our host, Louis-Henri, gave us a wonderful welcome and knows the history of the estate inside and out. Thank you!
