Le Moulin de Fourges hosts small seminars, executive committees, study days, family receptions and weddings, with a meeting room for 24 people in a U-shape and a reception room for up to 30. The hotel bills itself as a specialist of small seminars. It is a former water mill on the banks of the Epte at 38 rue du Moulin in Vexin-sur-Epte, in the Norman Vexin, 10 minutes from Giverny and about an hour from Paris and Rouen.
Seminars and company events
The meeting room covers 40 square meters. It is panoramic, air-conditioned and next to the restaurant, with a view over the river and the grounds. For a less formal session, a group can reserve one of the terraces, part of the garden or the lounge with its wood fire, depending on the season. The hotel sells two formats: a residential seminar and a study day, with lower rates in winter.
On site, groups can use the outdoor hot tub and sauna, and play pétanque, mölkky or giant chess. Nearby, the hotel can arrange canoeing on the Epte, a dressage show and horse ride, a falconry session, a painting class or quad biking. Giverny and the Claude Monet foundation are 10 minutes away, and La Roche-Guyon, Villarceaux and Les Andelys are within reach. A sales team builds programs to order.
Weddings and receptions
The mill hosts weddings and family gatherings. Its gardens take outdoor celebrations, and the glazed reception room seats up to 30 guests for a meal with a view over the river. Families can stay over in the mill suites, the family house or the guest rooms, and use the leisure areas during their stay. A wedding brochure is available from the hotel.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting room covers 40 square meters and seats 24 in a U-shape. The reception room, surrounded by glass, takes up to 30 guests. The garden, the terraces and the lounge with fireplace can also be reserved for a group. The hotel's restaurant runs in a 300 square meter converted barn with a bar and a terrace by the water.
Accommodation
The mill holds nine suites of 35 to 45 square meters, each named after a painter of the region, with river views; several have a balneo bath, a fireplace or a private terrace. The family house, 200 meters away on the village side, adds five rooms and suites. A traditional Norman house nearby holds guest rooms, and a gîte on the village square, 500 meters away, sleeps 19 in six bedrooms, with linen provided.
Catering
The restaurant cooks with seasonal produce and serves lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, with a set dinner for hotel guests on Monday and Tuesday. A second dining room, Le Cottage, opened in a half-timbered house with an open fireplace. The kitchen handles seminar meals and receptions.
History and setting
The mill was built after the French Revolution on the model of the Queen's Hamlet at Versailles and ground flour for the nearby château. After the Second World War it became a country inn, and from 1993 a restaurant known for hosting groups. The first nine suites opened in 2021, and the wellness area and the family house followed in spring 2023. The hotel belongs to the Destination Gourmande group.
Getting there
By train, regional services run from Paris-Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny in 45 minutes to an hour, then about 20 minutes by taxi. Bikes can be rented on site and electric cars can be charged.
