Château d'Amécourt can host a study day for 10 to 40 people, a residential seminar for up to 36 and a weekend wedding for up to 135 seated guests, always with exclusive use of the estate. The 18th-century château stands in a walled, wooded park of 8 hectares in Amécourt, in the Eure, looking over the Epte valley near Gisors.
Seminars and company events
Every seminar is booked with the estate to itself. The owners offer everything from self-managed hire to full-board packages with breaks, lunch, dinner, an open-bar evening and breakfast. Study days take groups of 10 to 40. Residential seminars take 10 to 18 people in single rooms, or up to 36 in twin rooms.
The plenary room is the large hall, set with work tables and a projection screen, which takes about 100 people in meeting layout. A second room of 70 square meters on the ground floor of the outbuilding, the Orangerie, seats about 20 around a table or in sofas. In the evening the group can use a lounge corner with a bar, music, billiards, table football, table tennis and darts.
For breaks, bicycles, a heated pool, running routes, pétanque and volleyball are available, and team-building activities can be added. The owners also suggest a private visit of Gisors castle, a bike ride with a picnic on the greenway from Gisors to Giverny, or a visit to Monet's house in Giverny.
Weddings and receptions
From mid-April to mid-October, weekends are reserved for weddings only; the rest of the year is shared between weddings and birthdays. The estate is rented for the weekend with its park, a large covered terrace around the pool, the decorated reception hall and the accommodation. The cocktail can be held anywhere in the park or around the pool, and there is parking inside the grounds.

Accommodation
The estate has more than 40 beds across the château, the outbuildings and the park. The château has four guest rooms named after gems. The Orangerie gîte sleeps up to 15, with a 70-square-meter living room and one ground-floor room with step-free access. The former caretaker's house at the gate has been turned into a six-room gîte. In the park, an insulated trapper's tent on the old tennis court sleeps six with its own shower cabin, and wooden cabins stand in the lime-tree alley.
Catering
Lunches and dinners are part of the packages, served as a buffet or plated depending on group size. The cooking is home-style and uses Normandy produce.
History and setting
The château was built in the second half of the 18th century and altered several times; the right-hand tower dates from the 1930s. It passed through several families before being left empty from the 1960s. Alain Béal and Monique Césaire bought it in 2007 and have been restoring it since.
Getting there
Amécourt is in the Eure, on the edge of Normandy near Gisors and the Epte valley, at 2 Rue du Buisson de Bleu. Giverny is reachable by the greenway from Gisors.
