Domaine de Bois Roger

What Domaine de Bois Roger does

Domaine de Bois Roger is a private event venue and holiday rental complex located in Normandy, France, operated under the legal entity AGAFUTUR. The estate centers on a 17th-century manor with multiple ancillary buildings set within a 5-hectare park, providing 77 sleeping accommodations and a reception capacity of 659 standing or 320 seated guests. The property was acquired by entrepreneur Valentine Lambert in 2022 following the death of filmmaker Jacques Perrin and was inaugurated in its current commercial form on June 9, 2023.

The venue operates a dual business model: it functions as a full-service private events location for weddings, birthdays, family celebrations, and corporate seminars, and as a holiday rental offering gîtes (self-catering cottages) and bed-and-breakfast stays. Revenue is generated through event venue rental fees, overnight accommodation bookings, and a curated partner ecosystem that supplies catering, floristry, decoration, and audiovisual services. Distinctive features include an on-site chapel, an adjacent forest, a documented stork population, and the cinematic heritage of Jacques Perrin, which together form the property's positioning.

The customer base combines individual private event clients with corporate bookings, with named corporate users including ELAN and ISOVER. The company has invested in a multilingual digital presence (French, English, Spanish) and added a winter B&B/gîte program running from Toussaint through March to broaden the addressable season. The operating model is asset-heavy and dependent on a single physical property, with revenue seasonality concentrated in the spring-to-early-autumn event window.
