Château de la Motte Fénelon hosts study days, residential seminars, executive committees, conferences, product launches, client receptions and weddings, with 37 bedrooms and a restaurant on site. Its meeting rooms range from 46 to 170 m², and ten reception rooms are offered for weddings and parties. The three-star hotel stands in an 8-hectare wooded park on Square du Val du Château in Cambrai, in the Nord department.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells day meetings and residential seminars, and lists executive committees, company anniversaries, symposia, conferences, product launches, press conferences, VIP client receptions and incentive days. Team-building activities can be added to build a cohesion day. The team has organized corporate events for more than 25 years.
All seminar rooms have daylight and look onto the park. They are modular and come with paper and pens, a video projector, a flipchart and a microphone. The venue sends its seminar brochure, room capacities and photos on request. The setting suits a seminar in green surroundings, and the hotel says it works with companies from the Hauts-de-France, the Paris region and Belgium.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, anniversaries, christenings, communions and cocktail receptions are held in ten reception rooms, some contemporary and set in the park, others in the château. For weddings that combine the drinks reception and dinner on site, the venue offers specific room-hire terms, and the bridal suite can be included for the wedding night under certain conditions. A wedding planner can suggest themes and ideas, and the park is available for photographs. Two terraces overlook the park.
Rooms and capacities
The reception rooms named on the site are the Salle Jean-Jacques Rousseau, used for dinners, drinks receptions and buffets, the Salle de l'Orangerie, with a dance floor, the Salle Fénelon, the Salle d'Ailly and the private Salle Blériot. Seminar rooms measure 46 to 170 m². Guest capacities per room are not published and are sent with the seminar brochure.

It is open every day for lunch except Saturday and for dinner except Sunday.
History and setting
The château sits in a wooded park of eight hectares, close to the historic center of Cambrai, with its belfry, the church of Saint-Géry, the Porte Notre-Dame and the fine arts museum. The site notes that the building is not accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
Getting there
The château is a few minutes from Cambrai train station and the town center, between Paris, Brussels and the Channel crossings.
