1 day · 10 to 200 people
A one-day meeting somewhere that is not a meeting room
Out at eight, back before seven, and a day nobody spends checking their inbox.
The point of leaving the office
A day that does not feel like a meeting room
A one-day meeting held three floors up from your desks is a day of meetings. People slip out to take a call, someone checks in with their team at lunch, and by four the room is half elsewhere. An hour of travel is what buys you the whole day.
Here the estate is private, Monday to Friday, for one group at a time. Three equipped lounges, a plenary room for 200, and 5 hectares of grounds for the breaks, which is where the useful conversations tend to happen.
Which days work best
- A strategy or budget day that needs a full, uninterrupted stretch
- A project kick-off, a workshop, a training day
- A general meeting or a plenary for up to 200 people at the Pavillon du Parc
If the subject deserves an evening as well, look at the executive offsite or the residential seminar.

“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
How many people for a one-day meeting?
Ten to 30 people in the château lounges, and up to 200 for a plenary at the Pavillon du Parc. Outdoors, the grounds take 300 to 500 people standing.
What does 170 € excl. VAT per person cover?
Exclusive use of the estate for the day, the equipped lounges, access to the grounds, the pool and the tennis court, lunch and refreshments. Activities and the shuttle are added on request.
Is there a minimum?
Yes: the minimum spend for exclusive use is 2,000 € excl. VAT per event. Below roughly twelve people, that minimum is what sets the price.
Can we arrive the night before?
Yes, 120 € excl. VAT per person for a night on site. It is often the right call for a team coming from far away, so the first session starts on time.
Can you organise activities?
Yes, built around your objectives: coaching to help the team tackle a difficult subject, or lighter formats such as outdoor games, tennis and archery tag.
