Seminars and company events
The Château du Prieuré takes seminar days, executive committee meetings, conferences, product launches, business lunches and dinners for up to 60 guests in its largest room and up to 100 in the garden. The house is a neoclassical Louis XVI folly in Évecquemont, a village of the Yvelines between the Seine and the Vexin, under 40 km from central Paris.
The venue also lists general meetings, cocktails, brunches and garden parties among its corporate formats. Groups staying overnight get exclusive use of the château and its grounds, which suits a residential seminar or a two-day leadership retreat where the team should not cross other guests. The enclosed park keeps the setting private, and the terraces facing south and west give a natural break area between working sessions.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold their ceremony or the welcome drink in the Péristyle, then move to the reception rooms, which the château says take about 70 guests comfortably, more depending on the layout. The lime-tree alley serves for a lunch or dinner in the open air and for the brunch on the following day. The south and west terraces are used for drinks at sunset. The château also hosts wedding photo shoots and filming.
Rooms and capacities
Les Salons de l'Orangerie cover 130 square meters on the garden level and hold up to 60 people. They open directly onto the lime-tree alley and can be set as a theatre, cabaret with round tables, open or closed U-shape, boardroom or cocktail. Le Salon Louis XVI, 56 square meters on the ground floor, takes up to 15 people for a small meeting, with daylight and a wide view over the Seine valley, in the same range of layouts. Outdoors, L'Allée des Tilleuls offers 400 square meters for up to 100 guests, used for garden parties, ceremonies, cocktails and lunches.
Accommodation
The château itself has five bedrooms and suites. Suite Royale, about 60 square meters, has a boudoir, a separate bedroom and a super king-size bed. Chambre Impératrice and Chambre Princesse are about 25 square meters each with king-size beds, Chambre Comtesse about 36 square meters, and Chambre Marquise about 40 square meters with twin beds or a super king, plus a sofa bed. Four further lodgings sit in the outbuildings: Le Rez de Jardin, L'Étage des Rêves, Bohème and La Maison du Jardinier. The site does not give a total number of beds, so confirm the sleeping capacity for your group.
Catering
Meals are prepared by the château's partner caterers. For company events the house proposes bistro-style cooking at lunch and a more gastronomic menu at dinner.
History and setting
The house was built in the neoclassical style of the Louis XVI period as a folly, a country retreat rather than a working estate. Its wooded park of about 1.5 hectares is fully enclosed. Around the village lie the Vexin regional nature park, with marked walking and cycling routes, the Seine and its river activities, and Giverny, home of Monet's house and gardens.
Getting there
The château stands at 37 rue d'Adhémar in Évecquemont, under 40 km from Paris. Drivers come by the A13, A14 or A15 motorways. Meulan-en-Yvelines and Vaux-sur-Seine are about seven minutes away by car.
