Grounds & leisure
5 hectares that are part of the programme
A cedar older than the house, a pool, a tennis court and nobody else in the grounds.
Not a backdrop
The grounds are another room
A ten-minute break in a hotel corridor produces nothing. The same break in walled grounds, where people walk in twos and threes, unblocks subjects that had been stuck all morning. That is why our programmes alternate: a session in a lounge, a walk to the cedar, a breakout on the terrace, lunch outdoors when the weather allows.
Outdoors, the grounds take 300 to 500 people standing, which is more than most comparable venues near Paris can hold without charging twice as much.
- A 250-year-old cedar, a century older than the château itself
- Seventy varieties of rose and an arboretum
- Beehives, with a visit and a tasting of the honey harvested here
- A heated outdoor pool and a tennis court, both open to your group
Through the year
A different setting at every seminar
Spring
Seventy varieties of rose come into flower, workshops move outdoors and lunch is on the terrace.
Summer
Pool, tennis and long evenings in the grounds, in the shade of the old trees.
Autumn
Walks through the grounds in the colours of the Vexin, then back into the lounges.
Winter
The grounds under frost, the lounges warm, the bedrooms quiet and dinners that run long.
Between sessions
Open, not bookable
The pool, the tennis court and the boules pitch are simply there, included, for whoever wants them between two sessions. Nobody has to reserve a slot, because nobody else is on the estate.
For supervised formats — archery, blowpipe and archery tag, a treasure hunt across the grounds, kayaking a few minutes away — allow 35 € excl. VAT per person from 4 participants. See all the activities.
Questions about the grounds
Is the pool heated, and when is it open?
It is an outdoor heated pool, open roughly from May to September depending on the weather. Outside that window the tennis court and the walks take over.
Can we hold a session outdoors?
Yes, and the high-speed Wi-Fi reaches the grounds, which is what makes it practical rather than decorative. We set up under the trees or at the Pavillon du Parc depending on the sun.
How many people can the grounds hold?
300 to 500 people standing, which covers a large cocktail reception or an outdoor launch. For a seated format, the Pavillon du Parc takes 150.
Can we visit the beehives?
Yes, on request. It is a short visit with a tasting of the honey harvested on the estate, and it is one of the things groups remember.
