Workation & Seminar in the countryside in the Ardèche: The premium alternative to the office
Escape the open-plan office and reconnect as a team in an exceptional setting, without sacrificing technical performance. That is the promise of Domaine de Miegessolle. Designed to accommodate up to 15 team members, our Ardèche farmhouse blends the authenticity of the "Slow Life" with cutting-edge digital infrastructure. Here is what a day of remote work in the countryside looks like with us.
1. Uncompromising digital infrastructure (The Plug & Play experience)
Relocating your office should never mean connection problems. That is why the Domaine has been designed as a true extension of your company.
The site benefits from full Wi-Fi Mesh coverage, both indoors and outdoors. The connection is powered by a professional fiber optic line with a Service Level Agreement (SLA), coupled with a backup system (4G/5G failover).
For your hybrid meetings and strategic presentations, the dedicated video conferencing room (currently being deployed) will offer a completely "Plug & Play" experience. An 85-inch screen and a Logitech Rally Bar (HD sound & image) await you: simply plug in your computer via USB-C or HDMI, and the meeting begins. Zero setup, total fluidity.
2. The "À la carte" office: Work where you want
The advantage of privatizing a 10-acre estate is the freedom of movement. Rather than being stuck around a single meeting table, your team members can claim the space according to their needs at any given moment:
- The great outdoors: Set up on the outdoor terrace for a group brainstorming session, with a stunning view of the village's Romanesque bell tower, the vineyards, and the inner courtyard.
- The central island: The vast open kitchen naturally transforms into a friendly coworking space to finalize a project.
- Targeted isolation: The 10-acre park and numerous stone terraces allow everyone to find a quiet spot with their laptop for an hour of "deep work" in absolute silence.
3. Simplified logistics (Coffee & Lunch)
The pace of a workday requires flexibility. For your morning fuel, the kitchen is equipped with a bean-to-cup coffee machine as well as a drip coffee maker for larger groups looking to save time.
For your lunch break, there's no need to spend time in the kitchen. The center of the village of Saint-André-de-Cruzières is just 500 meters away. Our local partners, l'Épicerie des Cruzières and le Bar Chez Lolo, offer tailored options (prepared dishes, tapas, pizzas) available quickly via "Click & Collect." It’s the perfect solution for eating fresh, local food and getting back to work without any hassle.
4. 6:00 PM: Immediate disconnection
The true strength of a "workation" at Domaine de Miegessolle lies in the transition between the end of the workday and relaxation. At 6:00 PM, when the laptops close, the options for team bonding and downtime are endless:
- Bonding & Energy: Split into teams for a tournament on the pétanque court with a glass of local wine, improvise a football match on the lawn, or enjoy the foosball and pool tables in the game room.
- Absolute relaxation: Dive into the 10x5m swimming pool, find a quiet spot to read in a hammock, or book an on-site massage session with our partner Laurence (L'Atelier Prégnance).
- Lounge & Cinema: The video conferencing room is versatile. In the evening, it transforms into a private screening room with giant beanbags for watching a movie on the 85-inch screen.
Combining the formidable efficiency of a connected office with the warmth of an Ardèche family home: this is the setting we offer to help your best ideas come to life.
