Domaine le Clos des Fontaines hosts small seminars, training sessions and team meetings for up to 25 people, with bedrooms and a spa on site. Seminars run from Monday to Friday, between March 21 and June 15 and between September 15 and December 15. The venue is a three-star hotel with 19 bedrooms, at 191 rue des Fontaines in Jumièges, in the loops of the Seine between Duclair and Le Trait, about 30 km west of Rouen.
Seminars and company events
The hotel suits a team of 10 to 25 that wants to work and stay in the same place for one or several days. The seminar package covers the meeting room and its equipment, and can be combined with the usual hotel services: bedrooms, breakfast and spa access. Coffee breaks and meals are added to suit the program. A group can end the day in the spa, with its outdoor hot tub, saunas and hammam, or at the bar.
Nearby activities include a golf course at Mesnil-sous-Jumièges, the leisure base at Jumièges and a visit of the ruins of Jumièges Abbey, which some bedrooms overlook. These make simple additions for a team afternoon.
Rooms and capacities
There is one meeting room of 40 square meters, with daylight. It takes 25 in theatre layout, 20 in classroom, 20 around a rectangular table, 16 in a U-shape, 20 for a seated meal and 25 for a cocktail. A flip chart, a video projector, free Wi-Fi and a connected TV are included. The room can be arranged to suit the group.
Accommodation
The 19 bedrooms are spread across four buildings in grounds of about 6,000 square meters. Confort rooms (20 square meters) are in a building called L'Armada, after the gathering of tall ships held in Rouen every four to six years, and are named after sails. Supérieure rooms (25 square meters) have a desk area and a bed that can be split into twins. Deluxe rooms and suites have a sitting area and a whirlpool bath, and some suites have a private terrace. Rooms look over the park, the orchards or Jumièges Abbey. The hotel is not accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
The 100-square-meter spa uses Cinq Mondes products and has a hammam, an outdoor hot tub, an infrared sauna and a Finnish sauna, with massages and treatments by appointment. An outdoor pool opens from May to September. The bar opens in the afternoon and evening, breakfast is a buffet, and parking and a secure bicycle garage are free.
Catering
The hotel has no restaurant of its own beyond breakfast and the bar. Seminar lunches and dinners are arranged with local restaurants or with a caterer. Several restaurants in Jumièges are listed by the hotel, including the Auberge des Ruines and the Auberge du Bac.
History and setting
The buildings are typical of the region, combining brick, half-timbering, cut stone and slate. The hotel sits in the regional nature park of the Boucles de la Seine Normande, halfway between the Côte Fleurie and the Côte d'Albâtre, and belongs to the Logis Hotels Demeures et Châteaux collection.
Getting there
From Paris or the west, take the A13 to the Bourg-Achard exit, then the D313 toward the Brotonne bridge and the D143. From the north or east, take the A29 to the Yvetot exit, then the D131 toward Caudebec-en-Caux. Rouen station is about 45 minutes by car, and Rouen-Vallée de Seine airport about one hour. The free Jumièges ferry crosses the Seine to the hotel's bank, but does not run between 9 pm and 6 am.
