Saint-Jean de Beauregard takes seminars, corporate days and team-building events for 6 to 150 people, with five meeting spaces that all have daylight, the largest being a 210 square meter tent. The estate is a 17th-century château with a formal park, a walled kitchen garden and a large dovecote, on Rue du Château in Saint-Jean-de-Beauregard, in the Essonne department, about 30 minutes south of Paris.
Seminars and company events
The château can be hired in full, together with its 20-hectare grounds, for a corporate day or a private event. Day packages cover the room, the equipment, a welcome breakfast, lunch, breaks and drinks, from a half-day format with a morning coffee to a full day with a served lunch. Custom packages are available on request. Rooms come with a projector, a flip chart, an interactive screen and very high-speed Wi-Fi, which also reaches the outdoor areas. An open-air setup can be arranged when the weather allows.
Team building draws on the grounds. The estate offers plant workshops in the kitchen garden, such as gardening, pruning, terrariums or kokedama, plus an outdoor escape game, a murder party played by professional actors, cooking classes, orienteering, raft building, drone flying and treasure hunts. Guided tours of the château, the dovecote and the kitchen garden can be added to the program.
Weddings and receptions
The estate's wedding page covers photo sessions only: couples can book the park, the kitchen garden and the dovecote for their wedding pictures, bring their own photographer and invite family or witnesses. The site does not offer wedding receptions.
