Château de la Bûcherie in Saint-Cyr-en-Arthies, in the Vexin about an hour from Paris, hosts study days, residential seminars, private events and intimate weddings. Four meeting rooms seat up to 45 guests in theater layout, and 33 bedrooms in the château, a gîte and a gastronomic restaurant keep a program on one site.
Seminars and company events
The château has four seminar rooms in two buildings. Elisabeth and Victoria are in the Pavilion, and Firmin and Didot are in the Library.

The study day package includes a seminar room with a screen, a video projector and stationery, a welcome coffee, two snack breaks with hot and cold drinks and petits fours, and lunch at the restaurant Cambrousse: starter, main course, dessert, water and a hot drink. The residential seminar formula accommodates up to 25 people. The whole estate can also be privatised on request for larger gatherings such as rallies, galas and product launches.
Weddings and receptions
The château presents private events and intimate weddings in a bohemian chic atmosphere, in a landscaped park that is listed. The site does not state a wedding capacity or the dining rooms used, so ask for figures when you request. Full privatisation is the route for larger receptions and gatherings.

The FAQ of the site quotes rooms of 45 to 80 square meters with a maximum of 45 seated, so confirm surfaces when you book.
