The Centre d'activités de Jambville, run by the Scouts et Guides de France, hosts company events, seminars, assemblies and large gatherings from 10 to 20,000 participants. It sits on 52 hectares of meadow and woodland in the Vexin, less than an hour from Paris, in Jambville.
Seminars and company events
The site works as a meeting campus. About thirty equipped rooms hold between 10 and 40 people each, spread across the château, the Petite ferme, the Saint-Thomas buildings and a few rooms set in the park. The Orangerie seats up to 90 in conference layout and comes with 20 tables, 90 chairs, a video projector and two wireless microphones. For plenary sessions, covered halls and pavilions take up to 200 people, some around a central fire point. The centre also runs general assemblies, congresses and rallies, and has done so for decades.
Rooms and capacities
The château offers eight meeting rooms and a break room, 185 seats in total. The Grand salon takes 30 with two TV screens, the Orange room and the Chamarande room take 25 with a video projector, and the Petit salon takes 10 and has a piano. The Petite ferme has three renovated rooms for 30 each plus the Bergerie for 15. Saint-Thomas adds 265 seats: three ground-floor rooms of 40 and seven upstairs rooms of 15 or 25. Five rooms in the park, for 10 to 25 people, are isolated and also used for film shoots.
For larger groups the centre has four event tents: 90, 200, 240 and 800 seats, the largest measuring 20 by 40 meters. Pavilions seat 200, and four 85 square meter halls seat 50 each. Custom structures can be built in the park, including a village of more than 70 marquees, marquees up to 6,000 square meters and a stage for up to 20,000 spectators.
Weddings and receptions
The official text presents the site for professional, associative and scout events. It does not describe a wedding offer, so couples should ask the team directly before planning a private celebration.
Accommodation
The centre sleeps about 250 guests, in rooms or in tents, and has 40 camping areas for groups that prefer to stay outdoors. Overnight stays can be combined with a meeting day or a longer program.
Catering
The dining hall seats 300. Formats range from seated meals to menus cooked over a wood fire, and the team advises on catering and logistics for large events. Tables, podiums and electrical equipment are available on site.
History and setting
The estate belongs to the Scouts et Guides de France, who say they have organized events here for about 70 years. The park has 10 kilometers of water, sewer and electricity networks, six outdoor toilet blocks and Wi-Fi coverage across the grounds. A further 50 hectares of forest, the Poudreuses wood, adjoin the park. The centre has followed a sustainability approach since 2008. Several buildings are accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Getting there
Jambville lies in the Vexin, under an hour from Paris. The centre publishes an access page and a downloadable park map on its website.
