Frequently Asked Questions

Domaine Pré Jeantet

Yes, Le Domaine has a private parking lot for all our guests.

Yes, we have an electric car charging station for all types of cars.

If you haven’t found the answer to your questions here, then please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone! We’d be happy to chat.

The Domaine can be viewed as many times as you wish by appointment.

You can come during the week, on Saturdays, and also on Sundays when there are no events. If you wish to visit the accommodation, it is best to come between 2 pm and 5 pm.

Yes, you have exclusive use of the domain for your events! There is always only one event at a time.

Note that if you only rent one cottage in the low season, there could be another group in the neighbouring cottage.

Yes, there is no limit to the number of people at the cocktail reception. However, we will need to know this detail, as well as the number of children, in order to comply with fire safety regulations (public access building regulations).

By appointment, you can drop off your drinks the day before or two days before your event. We provide a secure and cool, but not refrigerated, storage area.

We can arrange for your guests to be welcomed (optional): We offer a welcome drink, explain how the estate works, and escort them to their rooms.
Alternatively, we invite you to designate two or three people (family or witnesses) to greet your guests with the rooming list and direct them to their respective accommodations. A designated area in the reception area will be reserved for them.

We strongly recommend that you designate a responsible adult and/or childcare service (selected and
booked by you) for the entire duration of the rental.
Please ensure that you provide us with the names of the individuals responsible for the children a few
days prior to the event.

This service is included in our option to have your guests welcomed by us.
Alternatively, we can arrange a water bar, juice bar, etc., according to your preferences. Please feel free to ask us for pricing.

You have access to a unisex toilet and a toilet for people with reduced mobility in the reception room. We also offer two very comfortable dry toilets with a breathtaking view of the Sorgia mountains 🙂 worth a try!

150 white folding chairs and a ceremony arch are available. Setup can be done by your decorator or by you. There are two electrical outlets nearby.
If you wish, we can also handle the setup and takedown (optional service).

We advise you to prepare the ceremony at the last minute, ideally two hours beforehand, to be certain of the weather. At that point, you can decide whether to hold it outdoors or under the nomadic tent if rain is forecast.

In case of a heatwave or extreme heat, we recommend holding the ceremony as late as possible in the shade under the nomadic tent. You will need to arrange for a water bar to be available (this is an optional service we can provide).

Note that the Domaine is located at an altitude of 750m, so it is cooler at the end of the day even during heat waves.

For our equipment, you will need to ensure you have the appropriate connectors depending on your storage device. This will be verified during your on-site visit.

Confetti, while pretty for celebrating a wedding, is a real disaster for the environment and the planet. To replace it, there are various eco-friendly alternatives: rose petals, dried flowers, etc.

These eco-friendly confetti will need to be collected afterwards by your decorator.

The nomadic tent is perfect for hosting your outdoor cocktail party. It’s the ideal place to shelter from the sun or a sudden downpour.

This is also the place that has electrical outlets for your caterer.

You have 20 standing tables, 150 white chairs and 20 tables measuring 183x76cm.

To complete your setup, several options are available: 6 wooden barrels, tablecloths, and covers for the high tables. Feel free to contact us.

We will send you a scale plan of the room layout. However, we advise you to return it to us for your review and approval. Our experience will allow us to advise you and provide solutions for the setup. Once approved, this document should be sent to your caterer and decorator.

Yes, it’s possible. A site visit with your contact person/caterer, who will be present on the day, will be required, along with the signing of the catering agreement and the deposit of a security deposit check. We can also provide you with a list of our trusted suppliers.

The venue is already very well equipped. For a truly magical effect, consider asking your decorator or caterer for candles to place on the tables. We recommend at least three small candles per table. Please note that candles are only permitted if they are enclosed (without protruding) in a glass candle holder or are LED candles.

We have two baby seats available.

No, there’s no time limit; you can use this space all night. The last person just needs to turn off the lights and close the doors.

Exclusive use of the entire property is preferred on weekends during peak season. You can book just one cottage during the off-season, or up to one month in advance if availability allows during peak season.

Yes, a suite is dedicated to the newlyweds. It has a good size and its own bathroom (shower and toilet), a clawfoot bathtub, and a lovely view of the park and the Jura mountains.

Your guests can check into the cottages from 3pm on Friday. The bride and groom can take their rooms from 2pm upon prior request.

Yes, only upon request, we can make your room available to you before the arrival of your guests.

We often have parents and grandparents in the ground floor rooms (for people with reduced mobility), families and friends in the bedrooms and children and teenagers in the dormitories.

Yes, all rooms have keys.

All rooms are prepared. Beds are made and towels are provided. Soap and shampoo dispensers are also available in all bathrooms.

You can send the rooming list within 15 days of the wedding.

Yes! We’ve provided small chalkboards where you can easily write your guests’ names. Please remember to bring a chalk marker (available at reception). We also encourage you to place a short welcome note on each bed indicating check-in and check-out times, breakfast, brunch, etc. A customizable template is available upon request.

Rooms must be vacated by 11am without fail.

If you have chosen this option, breakfast will be delivered to each cottage from 8am. Your guests will be responsible for storing leftovers in the refrigerator and washing and putting away the dishes. (A professional dishwasher is available.)

All the necessary dishes and utensils are available in the cottage kitchens. You have access to a professional coffee machine that can make 50 coffees, two filter coffee makers, a kettle, a professional dishwasher, an oven, a microwave, and a gas hob. It’s just like home. You are expected to leave the place clean.

We recommend a local bakery in Valserhone (8 km away): Le Fournil de Coupy. It’s a family business that prides itself on homemade products. They can deliver your order of pastries and bread if you pay in advance. (04.50.56.62.27)

We recommend ordering pastries for the elderly and early risers, as the younger generation will go directly to Brunch around 11am.

No, there is no one to serve you, but you can ask us and a member of our team will be happy to serve you first thing in the morning. We can set the tables and prepare coffee and orange juice. (Price upon request)

The brunch area is usually located under the nomadic tent in good weather. Otherwise, in case of rain or cold, it is held inside the reception hall.

You have the same equipment as for the wedding reception: tables, chairs, high tables,…

The reception room is not air-conditioned, but its very thick stone walls ensure a constant and pleasant temperature even during heat waves.

Ideally, you can start brunch around 11:00 AM, which will give you about two hours to prepare your meal until 1:00 PM. Allow yourself an hour for a game of pétanque or to relax under the trees, and the last hour to say goodbye.

You can make your own brunch. But be warned, it involves a lot of constraints and work!

We require that you hire one or two waiters, whom you can book directly with your caterer from the previous day. You will need to bring your own tableware, tablecloths, trash bags, all coffee equipment (machine, extension cord, etc.), and everything necessary to leave the venue as clean as you found it. We can, of course, offer this type of equipment for rent; please contact us for details.

Storage: Chairs must be arranged in groups of 7 and tables stacked. A good sweep of the room and cleaning of the kitchen are your responsibility.

Brunch usually ends at 3 pm. We then ask that you vacate the reception area so the caterer can tidy up and clean the hall and kitchen before 5 pm. You will then have about an hour to walk around the grounds with us (inventory check) and to pack up any remaining belongings. The venue must be vacated by 6 pm.

As long as we don’t have another event scheduled immediately afterward, you can take additional hours prorated to your Brunch hours. However, you must inform us the day before your wedding.
