Find out more about the hotel

Your meeting room rental at Domaine des Dryades takes you into the Berry countryside, near La Châtre and less than 45 minutes from Châteauroux.

Head to Pouligny-Notre-Dame, a small rural village surrounded by meadows, hedgerows, woodland and ponds. The 4-star Domaine des Dryades hotel is set in a vast natural environment, with no immediate neighbours.

Peace and quiet define the setting. The Berry landscapes, much loved by 19th-century writers and artists, provide a bucolic and restorative backdrop. This seminar venue in the countryside also draws on a rich history, centred around its manor house, which has been remodelled over the centuries and is now part of the estate, with several spaces available for meetings and shared moments.

Golf and wide-open spaces for hiking or cycling shape your free time, before a relaxing break in the hotel’s swimming pools or spa.

From the rooms and suites, breathe in the fresh air. This is a place to switch off, reconnect and enjoy the benefits of nature.

Sports clubs and guests attending a private event will also enjoy the leisure activities and team building options available on site.

Near Paris (just over 3 hours away by train, or by train and car).

Large car park for guest parking and automotive events, close to the La Châtre and Mornay racing circuits.

Getting to the hotel

By road

Your meeting room rental at Domaine des Dryades is accessible by car in just over 3 hours from Paris, mainly via the A20 or A10 motorways.

Located in Pouligny-Notre-Dame, in the Indre department of the Centre-Val de Loire region, the hotel is around 1 hour 30 minutes from Limoges, 2 hours from Orléans and slightly over 2 hours from Tours.

The hotel does not have its own electric vehicle charging stations, but charging points are available in the village, around 400 metres away.

By train

To reach your seminar at Domaine des Dryades by train, several railway stations can be considered depending on where you are travelling from. Allow around 40 minutes by car from Châteauroux station, the most convenient option for colleagues arriving from Paris or northern France, and around 45 minutes from either Argenton-sur-Creuse or Guéret. The partner hotel can arrange transfers.

From Paris, the total journey time to your seminar venue in the countryside is around 3 hours, including the train journey and road transfer.

By plane

Châteauroux-Centre Airport is the airport recommended by our partner hotel for reaching Pouligny-Notre-Dame.

The hotel is then approximately 45 to 55 minutes by car from Châteauroux.

For a seminar bringing together participants from several regions or from abroad, air travel therefore needs to be followed by a road transfer to Domaine des Dryades, as its rural location does not offer a practical public transport option.

Our Sustainable actions in the hotel

For a CSR seminar, your meeting room rental at Domaine des Dryades benefits from a preserved natural environment and a range of responsible commitments.

The careful management of its 110 hectares of countryside helps support biodiversity, while in-room initiatives raise awareness around water consumption and linen renewal. Domaine des Dryades also supports the local area through the team-building activities it offers with local partners and through a purchasing policy focused on local products.

Its approach to sustainable wellness is reflected in partnerships with La Chênaie, a French brand using naturally derived ingredients, upcycled oak extracts and eco-designed packaging, as well as Sothys, the renowned French skincare house known for its treatment menus.

Ponds, peacocks, animals and the Berry countryside complete this seminar in the countryside experience, with a strong focus on wellness.

Its dining room, decorated in soft, light tones, reflects the codes of classic and traditional elegance. With seating for up to 150 guests, it opens onto a terrace overlooking the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool and landscaped park.

The team offers formats tailored to your event, including two- or three-course menus, barbecues, raclette evenings and buffets.

The traditional cuisine focuses on generous dishes such as salads, cheese platters, kidney fricassee, poké bowls, Paris-Brest and Black Forest cake. A country wedding, corporate dinner event, automotive event or retirement celebration can also begin with a 12-piece cocktail reception served beneath the trees.

The seasonal restaurant “La Paillotte”

Since 2022, Domaine des Dryades has offered La Paillotte, a seasonal venue providing a relaxed summer escape in the heart of the Berry region.

This seasonal space draws on the spirit of a traditional guinguette while creating its own distinctive, transportive atmosphere. A colourful forest-inspired wall mural immediately catches the eye, while wicker light fittings bring a light, seaside feel to the room. Opening onto a terrace, La Paillotte is designed for relaxing and making the most of fine weather, with live musical entertainment on selected dates.

A convivial alternative for extending a seminar, group stay or sporting weekend at Domaine des Dryades.
