Les Bois Chamblard is a villa estate in Buchillon, on the Vaud shore of Lake Geneva, that rents two rooms for company seminars, team days and receptions. The conference room seats 50 people theatre style. The reception room holds 100 guests standing or 72 at a banquet. Both sit in the same villa, in a green setting, with a professional kitchen, a patio and parking.
Seminars and company events
The estate states that a seminar can last a day or several days, and it also offers team-building events. The conference room is called La Rotonde. It covers 60 square meters and is 8.7 meters long, with a ceiling height of 3.3 meters. It is set up with a projector, a screen and a flip chart. The team prepares a tailored offer on request, and a seminar package is presented on the website.
The villa also has an office for two people with a scanner, a photocopier and a printer. Wi-Fi is free, on a high-speed fiber connection, so a group can work, present and print without bringing its own equipment.
Rooms and capacities
La Rotonde seats 50 people in theatre layout, 32 in blocks and 20 in a seminar or U-shaped layout.
The Salon Erico Nicola is the reception room. It covers 80 square meters, is about 15 to 17 meters long and 5.1 meters wide, with a ceiling height of 2.5 meters. It holds 100 people for a standing cocktail, 72 at a banquet and 60 in theatre layout. Organizers often pair the two rooms: a morning session in La Rotonde, then lunch or an evening reception in the Salon.
The villa also has a lounge area with a fireplace and an outdoor patio with a grill. A cloakroom and separate women's and men's toilets are on the ground floor. The building is wheelchair accessible and has a drop-off area in front of the villa.
Catering
A professional, fully equipped kitchen is part of the facilities. The site does not name an in-house caterer, so ask the team whether you bring your own or use a recommended one before you plan the meals.
Accommodation
The official site does not describe bedrooms. Plan for guests to stay in nearby hotels in the Morges and Rolle area and travel in by car or shuttle.
History and setting
The estate is run by a foundation and is linked to the Erico Nicola name and to the EPFL. The site presents the grounds as a place of research on fauna and flora, with a discovery trail and scientific research programs. Seminar groups can use this setting for a walk between sessions, which suits team days.
Getting there
The estate is at Route de Chanivaz 19 in Buchillon. Parking is on the property, with 25 spaces, and about 120 more spaces are available nearby. Shuttles can be arranged from the train stations of Allaman, Etoy and Morges, which is useful for groups arriving by rail.
