Catering, accommodation, entertainment

La Ferme does not offer accommodation, but we are in the heart of Versailles, a very touristy town with several hotels less than 15 minutes' walk from the Ferme. We can make suggestions.

We work with several partner caterers, all of whom are local and most of whom work with organic and seasonal produce, to provide the catering services requested by our customers (buffet, sit-down lunch, cocktail party, etc.)

As far as entertainment is concerned, we are able to offer a number of workshops and tours of the Farm, which are run by members of our team (tour of the Farm, hands-in-the-earth workshop, Olympics, treasure hunt in Versailles, etc.). We also have a network of partner activity leaders who can offer a wide range of activities (cookery classes, yoga, origami, murder party, Fresque du Climat, etc.)
