Le Parisien: Why is Domaine du Grand Morin so appealing on the outskirts of Paris?
Published on June 27, 2025
Seine-et-Marne is becoming the new favorite for soon-to-be-weds and private event organizers. At the heart of this trend, the Domaine du Grand Morin, a member of the Domaines & événements collection, stands out for its authenticity, accessibility, and bucolic charm. This trend was highlighted in an article by Le Parisien, following an interview with our on-site teams.

A 19th-century château in the heart of nature, less than an hour from Paris
Located in Jouy-sur-Morin, nestled in a green setting just 80 km from the capital, Domaine du Grand Morin was built at the end of the 19th century. Fully renovated to host countryside weddings and professional events, it perfectly embodies the philosophy of Domaines & événements : revitalizing heritage sites while preserving their soul.
The setting offers an attractive alternative to impersonal venues or locations too far from Paris. Christine Dehosse, the domain's Director, emphasizes that "for a great celebration, people are willing to drive an extra half hour if the venue is worth it."
An Offering Tailored to New Expectations
The article from Le Parisien reviews market developments: couples are increasingly looking to personalize their wedding, to step off the beaten path. Domaine du Grand Morin meets this demand with flexible services: self-managed or assisted planning, on-site accommodation, and outdoor spaces for secular ceremonies and entertainment.
Nicolas Tommasini, President and CEO of Domaines & événements, emphasizes the value for money : "We have been able to offer a premium experience while remaining within an accessible price range, around €2,500 to €5,000 depending on the setup."

An Emerging Destination for Professionals
While weddings still account for 60% of Domaine du Grand Morin's activity, the countryside seminars are experiencing strong growth. The estate is increasingly appealing to companies looking for an inspiring setting to organize residential seminars, team-building events, or training sessions.
Alexis Bracquart, operations manager, points out that the location is a major asset: "We attract clients from both Île-de-France and Champagne, thanks to our proximity to major routes and a refreshing natural setting."
A collective momentum driven by Domaines & événements
The growth of Domaine du Grand Morin is part of a broader strategy driven by Domaines & événements, a collection that brings together 25 exceptional venues across France, all renovated with respect for heritage and the environment.
Nicolas Tommasini, explains: "Our ambition is clear: to offer a sustainable and human alternative to traditional event venues. Le Grand Morin is a flagship of this vision."
Shirley Naar, Marketing Manager, and Marine Jardin, Group Marketing Officer, add: "The article in Le Parisien confirms our intuition: Seine-et-Marne has everything it takes to become an exceptional region for private events."
