As the exclusive user of the mansion, you have the freedom to choose how to organize your event.
The elegant reception rooms on the ground floor are a lovely place to receive your guests. The “grand salon” with its splendid carved stone fireplace and restored canvas murals, completed in 1850 by Jules de Lahundes, offers an elegant nod to the past life of the house. The bright and friendly dining room is decorated with elegant woodwork and has a coffered ceiling. The reception room has exposed stonework extended by a wrought iron pergola allowing you to organize a banquet. The beauty of Riveneuve is that you can accommodate large groups of people to sleep overnight before and after your event.
The “Pyrénées tower” located at the entry of the courtyard has been renovated. It is connected to the “Grande salle” of the western wing of the castle. At the first floor, the “chamber pastel” with its beautiful pastel blue cement tiles. On the second floor, the sauna with a breath-taking view out on the Pyrénées. Nothing is more pleasant than relaxing in the sauna after skiing in the nearby Pyrénées, before enjoying a film in your private cinema room.

A seventeenth century manor, Riveneuve once belonged to the Baron of Ornolac. It was enlarged and decorated by Jules Lahondès who inherited it in 1850. He was a painter, a student of Joseph Latour, renamed historian, archaeologist and President of the Academy Jeux Floraux in Toulouse. On his return from a trip to Italy, he painted scenes from Rome and Venice, especially the gardens of the Villa Doria Pamphili in Rome as mural paintings which decorate the living room. The canvas was restored with the help of VMF (Vieilles Maisons Françaises). He carved the fireplace with its coat of arms and those of the family of Exea for the wedding of his son Joseph to the daughter of the Marquise of Exea. One of his paintings represents his dog Linda in the foreground of the castle was also restored.
Catherine and Hervé Gasiglia bought Riveneuve in 2000 and have lovingly restored into a large warm family home where they receive their children and friends. In their absence, they are happy to allow others to meet up with their families and friends.
