A private estate for your big family moments
Looking for a venue to bring a group together near Bordeaux — a christening, a family reunion, a birthday or a weekend with friends? Domaine du Dahu, in Sablons in the Gironde, opens up an entirely private estate, nestled between lake and forest, less than 40 minutes from Bordeaux and 20 minutes from Libourne.
Here, your group is at home: no neighbours, no imposed schedules, no accommodation logistics to manage. Everyone sleeps on site, and everyone meets up again around the lake.
The estate hosts up to 18 people in double beds (11 in single beds), spread across 5 floating chalets, an outdoor chalet with kitchenette and the charming 170 m² gîte.
What's the occasion?
Christening
Bring godparents and the whole family together for the christening: the daytime reception and accommodation for the guests, all in one place.
Family reunion
Several generations together for a weekend — everyone has their own bed, everyone gathers for meals and walks by the lake.
Birthday
A milestone birthday (30, 40, 50…) celebrated in peace, with no time limits and no neighbours, in a unique natural setting.
Small group & friends
Get-togethers, a weekend with friends, a hen or stag party: an entirely private estate, just for your group.

Private estate
A place to celebrate… and to sleep on site
The 75 m² room, bright and fully equipped, hosts the meal, the drinks reception or the games. Right next to it, the covered terrace facing the lake lets everyone gather under cover — ideal for the aperitif and group meals.
As for catering, you are free: the equipped kitchens of the gîte and the chalet kitchenette let you prepare your own meals or call on the caterer of your choice. No imposed supplier.
And when the celebration ends, nobody hits the road: everyone heads to their own bed across the chalets resting on the water and the gîte. The next day, you carry on with a coffee on the terrace, a walk around the lake or some fishing.
