La Flottille, a restaurant in the park of the Château de Versailles, hosts private and business events for up to 410 guests at a seated meal and 420 at a cocktail. It stands beside the Grand Canal, in Versailles, and has a starred chef and a guinguette in fine weather.
Seminars and company events
The hire page says the venue is built for private and professional events: business lunches, company evenings, receptions and birthdays, plus custom formats. At 410 seated, it takes a full-company dinner, a customer event or a large lunch after a day of meetings at one of the area's offices or hotels. A cocktail for 420 suits a launch evening, a partner reception or an anniversary party.
The restaurant is open every day from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. under its normal operation, so ask which evening and which weekday slots are open for private hire before you fix a date.
Rooms and capacities
The official text gives two figures for the whole venue: 410 for a seated meal and 420 for a cocktail. It does not list room names or floor plans in the pages provided, so ask for a plan that shows the dining room, the terrace and the guinguette before you commit to a layout. A virtual tour is linked from the hire page and helps a planner judge the space remotely.
Catering
The kitchen is led by starred chef Jean-Baptiste Lavergne-Morazzani, who reworks French classics. The restaurant describes fresh products and home cooking. When the weather is fine, the guinguette serves homemade buckwheat galettes and crepes in a relaxed outdoor setting. For a group, ask the team how the guinguette and the main kitchen can be combined into one program.
History and setting
La Flottille takes its name from the fleet that once sailed on the Grand Canal of Versailles. Today it stands on the water's edge inside the park of the château, in a countryside setting that the venue describes as a place with history. The restaurant offers a terrace and a menu of French cuisine, from breakfast to dinner.
Getting there
The address is the Parc du Château de Versailles, 78000 Versailles. The official page points to Versailles for public transport. Because the venue lies inside the park, ask the team about vehicle access, drop-off points for coaches and the walking distance from the nearest station before you brief your guests.
