Out of time.
One hour from Paris.
Corporate seminars in a private estate, one hour from Paris
The soul of the place
Félix Leclerc de Pulligny had its stones carved between 1858 and 1863. Alexandre Dumas stayed here. Today, for the length of a seminar, the estate belongs to your team alone.
The art of hosting
We welcome you, then we step aside
Most seminar venues sell you a room and a floor. You pass two other groups at the buffet, you hear the neighbours' sound system during your plenary, and in the evening your team dissolves into a hotel lobby.
Here the estate is entirely private, Monday to Friday, for one group at a time. Five hectares of grounds, three lounges in the château, a 350 m² pavilion, ten bedrooms. Our team sets everything up, greets you, and then leaves you to it.
One hour from Paris
The train, then a fifteen-minute shuttle
Paris Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny takes about 45 minutes on a direct train, then 15 minutes of shuttle to the estate (20 € excl. VAT per person, return). By road, allow one hour and ten minutes from western Paris on the A13.
Your teams arrive together, with no car park to hunt for, and nobody has to drive home afterwards.

Night at the estate
When the meetings stop, the estate takes over.
The session ends at six. The stay does not. None of this is on the programme, and it is often what teams remember best.
The lounges
In the evening the day's conversations carry on in the Monet and Dumas lounges, differently.
The stars
The château's telescope comes out onto the lawn. Far from city lights, the Vexin sky does the rest.
The silence
No neighbours, no traffic, no other group. Night here does not sound the way it does in town.
Dawn
A coffee in hand, mist over the grounds and the 250-year-old cedar, before the first session.
They have been here
“We were looking for somewhere that would take the team out of its routine without turning the trip into an expedition. Four days at the estate, with everyone sleeping on site: the evenings did as much as the working sessions.”
Frequently asked questions
Is the estate really private for our group alone?
Yes, without exception. We host one group at a time, Monday to Friday: no other seminar, no hotel guests. That is what guarantees the quiet and the confidentiality of your discussions, and it is the only formula we offer.
How many people can you welcome?
Ten to 30 people for meetings in the château lounges, up to 200 for a plenary session at the Pavillon du Parc, and 300 to 500 outdoors in the grounds for a standing format. 10 bedrooms sleep 15 people on site, each in their own bed.
How far is it from Paris?
One hour and ten minutes by road from La Défense, Porte Maillot and Opéra, one hour and five from Levallois or Nanterre, 45 minutes from Cergy-Pontoise. From the south of Paris, allow 1h15 to 1h25, because you have to cross or go around the city.
Can we come without a car?
Yes. The Paris Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny line is direct and takes 45 minutes. Our shuttle meets your group at the station and drops it at the estate 15 minutes later, for 20 € excl. VAT per person return. For a larger group, our coach partner collects everyone from your own address.
What equipment do the meeting rooms have?
Seventy-five inch touchscreen and eighty-five inch screens with wireless casting, video-conferencing, a whiteboard, movable furniture, and high-speed Wi-Fi across the whole estate, including outdoors in the grounds.
Can you organise activities?
Yes, and we build them around your objectives. That ranges from coaching, to help a team tackle a difficult subject, to lighter formats: archery, blowpipe and archery tag, outdoor games, a treasure hunt in the grounds, kayaking, a murder mystery evening, karaoke and stargazing.
