Châteauform’ La Manufacture hosts seminars, training days, strategy meetings, workshops and kick-offs for 2 to 150 participants. It occupies a former tobacco factory in Issy-les-Moulineaux, next to Porte de Versailles, with 1,700 m² over five floors and 21 modular rooms that all have daylight.
Seminars and company events
The house is organised for working days. Rooms can be turned into a plenary room or a smaller sub-committee room, so one group can split and regroup during the day. The official text lists training sessions, strategic meetings, workshops and kick-offs as the main uses, up to 150 participants.
Two dining rooms and a cocktail area serve coffee breaks, lunches and informal after-work drinks with clients or colleagues. The event surface is 200 m², and the cocktail area takes 150 people.
Chateauform runs the day for you. A host couple, Stéphanie and Arnaud, welcome the group and the brand states that the quote equals the final invoice. The house also offers activities to add to a study day: a cooking session, a tablet-based escape game, yoga and meditation.
Weddings and receptions
La Manufacture is a seminar house. The official text does not offer weddings or family celebrations, so this page covers professional events only.
Rooms and capacities
The maximum layouts stated for the house are 150 in theatre style, 65 in classroom, 64 in islands, 40 in a U shape, 20 informal and 8 around a conference table.
The house counts 18 modular rooms, the largest of which measures 118 m² and takes 150 people in theatre style. Two informal rooms of 48 m² take up to 20 people. One room with a fixed table of 28 m² seats 8. Each room is fully equipped and has daylight. A plan of the rooms can be downloaded from the house page.
Accommodation
The official text describes a day-seminar house and does not mention bedrooms on site. If your group needs to stay overnight, ask the house for a recommendation.
Catering
The kitchen is led by chef Julien. The Chateauform table is built around seasonal products and shared meals, with healthy options alternated with indulgent ones through the day. Meals are served in the two dining rooms. The stated price model is all-inclusive per participant per day, and it covers the rooms, the equipment and the catering.
History and setting
The building was destroyed during the war and went back to work as a factory in the mid-1950s. The Gitanes cigarette was born here. The director then opened a school inside the factory for the children of the women who worked there. The house has kept that story as its theme: a 1950s school. Rooms are named after school spaces, such as the drawing room, the chemistry room, the library and the headmaster's office. Objects found in second-hand shops are scattered around the house for guests to spot.
Getting there
The address is 4 esplanade de la Manufacture in Issy-les-Moulineaux. The nearest metro station is Corentin Celton on line 12. The house is a short distance from Porte de Versailles, which also makes it convenient for groups coming from the exhibition centre.
