Le Clos Saint Lubin, a 19th-century guest house in Nainville-les-Roches, welcomes seminars, study days, award weekends and team events for groups of up to 20 people. The house stands in Essonne, close to Fontainebleau and less than an hour from Paris, and it can be privatized in full.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists three formats. The half-day study uses the meeting room for a morning or an afternoon, with a welcome breakfast and a gourmet break. The study day gives access to the room from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a welcome breakfast, a guest lunch and gourmet breaks morning and afternoon. The residential seminar adds on-site accommodation in the guest rooms, with breakfast, lunch and dinner for every day of the stay.
The hosts help with each stage of the organization and propose activities around the work program, such as a wine tasting, cultural visits or outdoor sessions in the nearby forest.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting room holds up to 20 people. It is equipped with Wi-Fi, a television and a flipchart, and the setup is adapted to the number of participants and the needs of the day. A welcome drink and sweet treats are included in the formats described. For groups under 20, the quiet setting suits board retreats, strategy days and training weekends.
Outside the meeting room, participants can use the garden, the swimming pool, the wellness area, the tennis court, the pétanque court and the sports room. These spaces give a residential seminar breaks that do not require leaving the property.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not present the house as a wedding venue. It does say the Clos can be privatized for private events such as birthdays, family reunions, reunions with friends and cousin gatherings, with meals, rooms and activities arranged with the hosts.
Accommodation
The house offers guest rooms, a suite and an apartment, all listed under its accommodation pages. The number of bedrooms is not given on the pages reviewed, so organizers should ask the hosts how many guests can sleep on site for a given date.
Catering
Meals are served as a buffet or a table meal, depending on the formula chosen. The house also runs a table d'hôtes, a lounge bar with cocktails and wine tastings, which can be added to a seminar evening.
History and setting
The residence dates from the 19th century and is run by its owners, Sandrine and Frédéric, who live on the property. Nainville-les-Roches is a village at the edge of the Gâtinais, in the area of Fontainebleau, Barbizon and Courances.
Getting there
The house is at 3 rue de l'Église in Nainville-les-Roches, a short drive from Fontainebleau and less than an hour from Paris. Groups coming by train usually stop at Fontainebleau-Avon or Boutigny-sur-Essonne, then continue by taxi.
