Etiolles Country Club

Etiolles Country Club hosts company seminars, study days, residential seminars, management retreats and corporate evenings for 15 to 800 participants, depending on the format and the season. The domain is in Étiolles, in the Essonne department, about 35 minutes from Paris. It is dedicated to businesses, so no private event runs next to yours.

Seminars and company events The club sells a set of formats. A study day combines meetings, continuous breaks, lunch and a team activity. A residential seminar adds dinner, an evening program and a night on site. A management seminar is designed for an executive committee that needs distance and confidentiality. Large-format events are scaled for big groups, and incentive days, company evenings, a golf and business open and a Celebration Day for marking a milestone complete the list.

The domain states that it receives neither individual customers nor private events at the same time as a management seminar. That matters for confidentiality. Accommodation, rooms and activities are coordinated by one team, and the club promises a first proposal within 24 to 48 hours.

Rooms and capacities The domain counts 18 modular rooms. For a residential or management seminar, the main room is equipped for plenary sessions and is lit by daylight. It can be arranged in a U shape or in islands, with projection and sound. Breakout rooms for sub-commissions are included in the residential format, so workshops can run in parallel. Technical assistance and a coffee welcome are part of the offer. The club does not publish a capacity for each room: ask for the layout that matches your headcount.

Accommodation Guests can sleep on the domain, which removes any transfer after the evening program. Rooms are single or twin, and VIP suites are available depending on availability and on the formula. When the group is too large for the domain, the team places the remaining participants in complementary lodging nearby and coordinates the split, the breakfast and the logistics.

Catering Meals follow the rhythm of the program: served lunches and dinners, cocktails, grilled meals and continuous breaks. An all-inclusive offer can bundle work spaces, catering, breaks, team building, animations, the evening and lodging into one proposal fixed in advance. A DJ and a photographer can be added on request.

Team building Activities are designed and led on site: outdoor and indoor sessions, CSR activities, activities during the meal and evening entertainment. An indoor alternative keeps the program running when rain rules out the outdoor option.

History and setting The domain covers 82 hectares in Essonne and includes a golf course, which is the basis of the Open de Golf & Business format for clients, partners and employees. The setting is green and quiet, and the club says that more than 450 companies hold seminars, conventions and team events there each year.

Getting there The address is Vieux Chemin de Paris, 91450 Étiolles. By car, the A6, N7 and N104 give direct access, and 250 free, supervised parking spaces are available. By train, take the RER D to Évry Val de Seine, where a shuttle to the domain is included. Orly airport is about 30 km away.
