Domaine de la Roche Couloir is a forest estate in Chevreuse, 35 minutes from Paris, that can be hired for company retreats, Christmas parties, private celebrations and weddings. It takes 10 to 120 guests and has two reception rooms, the Pavillon and a heated Dôme, plus terraces and outdoor spaces in 35 hectares of woodland.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells corporate events and retreats, and publishes an offer for company Christmas parties with fire pits and a fireplace in the woods. The setting suits a day away from the office, a team meeting, a dinner or a cocktail for up to 120 people. The official pages do not list meeting-room equipment or a seminar package, so ask for the technical details when you send a request.
Private groups also use the estate for family reunions, birthdays, bachelorette parties and meditation retreats, which shows the range of group sizes it handles, from a small party to a full dinner.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding can follow a full timeline on site. The ceremony takes place in one of two outdoor ceremony spaces, or inside the Dôme or the Pavillon for up to 60 people if it rains. The cocktail is served on the panoramic terrace of the Pavillon, with outdoor furniture. Dinner seats up to 120 guests, outdoors under string lights, in the Dôme with a view of the forest, or by the fire in the Pavillon. The evening continues on the Pavillon dance floor, with its bar and sofa corners, and a brunch can be held the next day with games such as pétanque.
Rooms and capacities
Le Pavillon is a 140 m² room with bay windows on all sides, a central fireplace, a large bar and a dance floor. It holds up to 120 for a cocktail or dancing and up to 50 for a seated dinner.
Le Dôme is a heated 360-degree dome with a view of the forest, used for ceremonies, dinners and cocktails. The site gives no separate capacity for it; dinners across the estate reach 120.
La Salle Cabane is a heated room next to the main hall, set aside for children or for the couple's preparations.
Outdoors, the estate offers the Pavillon terrace, two ceremony spaces, a cocktail area and a reception area facing the Chevreuse forest.
Accommodation
Beds are available on request, and cottages (gîtes) are located nearby. The official text does not give a bedroom count, so ask how many guests can sleep on site.
Catering
The plan of the estate shows a catering office and a catering area. The official pages do not say whether the caterer is chosen by the estate or by you, so confirm this when you request availability.
History and setting
The estate is a former hunting lodge in the Chevreuse Valley, next to the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse regional nature park. The Pavillon, Dôme and cabins sit among ferns and large trees. The area has links with Versailles, Rambouillet and the Château de la Madeleine in Chevreuse.
Getting there
The estate is 35 minutes from Paris and from Orly airport, and 25 minutes from Versailles and Rambouillet. The stations of Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse and La Verrière are 8 minutes away by car.
