Getting there and practical details

Neighborhood
Canteleu, Roumare plateau, west of Rouen

Château des Deux Lions hosts study days, business meals and small seminars for 2 to 40 people in three salons, and larger company events of up to 300 guests under a marquee in the park. The château stands in Canteleu, on the Roumare plateau west of Rouen, about 15 minutes from the historic center, with a wide view over the Seine valley.

Seminars and company events

The château sells meeting days built around a breakfast, coffee breaks, a cocktail and a seated lunch or dinner. Each salon comes with a 40-inch screen, a flip chart, unlimited Wi-Fi, notepads and pens, bottled water and parking. The team can add welcome staff, a caterer, sound and mood lighting.

For team building, the château lists helicopter flights, an escape game and private cooking classes on the estate. The operator also designs and installs custom marquees, which is how larger groups are hosted: the home page gives up to 300 people under the marquee, against 40 in the house itself.

Weddings and receptions

The château has hosted weddings, birthdays and private receptions, either in the salons or in a reception tent in the park, with a list of required suppliers. A notice on the weddings page says the owners are building a new orangery and will take wedding bookings again from 2028 at the earliest, subject to permits. Company receptions in the salons are not affected by that notice.

Rooms and capacities

The house has three salons, all with daylight and flexible layouts.

The Salon de Musique takes 10 people. It is made up of a vestibule, a smoking room and an oval salon with rich interior decoration, and opens onto a private terrace over the park. It suits a confidential meeting, a business lunch or a breakout group.

The Grand Salon, on the ground floor, covers 40 square meters plus a 23-square-meter hall and takes up to 40 people. It opens onto the terrace that overlooks the park and Rouen, and can be set in theater, classroom, U-shape, cocktail or round tables.

The Salon Magistral, on the first floor, combines a 47-square-meter salon and a 23-square-meter hall, for up to 40 people. It looks over the Seine valley and offers the same layouts as the Grand Salon.

Accommodation

Next to the château, the former caretaker's house, called L'Atelier, sleeps four. It has a 35-square-meter living area with a kitchenette on the ground floor and two bedrooms of 18 and 19 square meters upstairs, each with its own shower room. A second building, Les Écuries, is announced with six bedrooms for 2028.

Catering

There is no in-house kitchen listed. Meals are prepared by caterers: for receptions the château names Bonnaire, Coudray, Erisay and Hauville. Sound and lighting are handled by GSA Productions or SILAM, and welcome staff by JG Models.

History and setting

The château was built in the early 17th century and has changed hands several times since. The current building shows a range of decorative styles from different periods, which the owners have restored. The park ends on a terrace with a view over the port of Rouen and the Seine. The château also opens to the public for Heritage Days and seasonal events.

Getting there

Rouen's historic center is about 15 minutes by car. Frequent bus lines stop about five minutes' walk from the château and run to the Docks 76 shopping center, the Seine quays and the city center. The estate has a 200-space car park, and the Rouen to La Bouille cycle route runs below the château.
