Le Clos Barisseuse hosts seminars, board meetings, product launches, receptions and weddings. Its main hall seats up to 150 people for a conference, two smaller rooms take 2 to 25, and the outdoor spaces let the estate plan events from 50 up to 1,000 guests. It is a restored 18th-century stone farm in the hamlet of Barisseuse, in Saint-Vaast-lès-Mello in the Oise, about 50 km north of Paris.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells study days, conventions, management committees, incentives and product launches. The Chesnaie, a 400 m² hall, takes 25 to 150 people and suits a plenary session, a conference or a launch. The Pinède (50 m², equipped) takes 10 to 25 and works as a committee room or breakout space. The Hêtraie (25 m², equipped) is for 2 to 10 people, for a board meeting or a small working group.
With 18 bedrooms on site, a two-day residential seminar can run without transfers. The bar lounge, a billiards table and fireplaces give the group somewhere to meet in the evening. The team follows each event from the first request to the day itself and can handle logistics for large professional events.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings, birthdays, christenings and private receptions, the estate rents its main hall of more than 400 m² in one piece, with exposed stone and timber roof beams. Couples can also hire the whole place on an exclusive basis, with the 18 bedrooms, the lounges, the dining room and the walled garden of more than 4,500 m². The format can be a simple cocktail or a full wedding dinner.
Rooms and capacities
Indoors there are more than 400 m² of covered space. Outdoors and in the outbuildings the estate lists 520 m² of former stables, a 4,200 m² orchard, a 4,500 m² enclosed courtyard and 5 hectares of green space. The whole site is enclosed by walls and can be fully privatized. Ask which spaces and layouts the team recommends for your numbers, since capacities for the stables and outdoor areas are not published.
Accommodation
The 18 bedrooms each measure more than 25 m² and were recently renovated. They have air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, a hair dryer and either a bathtub or a walk-in shower designed for guests with reduced mobility. Pets are accepted. Groups staying overnight can have breakfast or a brunch the next morning on site.
Catering
The estate lets clients choose their own level of service. It works with a list of selected suppliers for catering, DJ, furniture and flowers, and helps with planning. Ask whether a given caterer is required or recommended for your date.
