Les Étangs de l'Abbaye hosts full and half study days, team dinners, private receptions and small weddings. The site does not publish guest numbers, so it suits groups that fit a 65 m² meeting room or a private dining room rather than large conferences. The estate is a restaurant set beside a pond on Chemin de l'Abbaye in Longueil-Sainte-Marie, in the Oise, about ten minutes from Compiègne.
Seminars and company events
The restaurant sells three formats for companies. The study day runs from morning to late afternoon and includes lunch with an aperitif, a starter, a main course and a dessert, with a choice of three options per course, plus water, wine, coffee and tea, and an afternoon snack break. The half study day covers a morning or an afternoon. A custom format covers evenings, cocktails and team building, quoted on request.
The meeting room measures 65 m². It is bright and can be set up in a U, in theatre style or around a single meeting table. Equipment includes very high-speed Wi-Fi, a video projector, a 65-inch interactive touchscreen on a mobile stand and two paperboards. The team describes the acoustics as comfortable. A 45 m² lounge sits next to it for arrivals and breaks.
Between sessions, groups can use the park: a pétanque court, table football, giant mikado and mölkky are available. Companies can also order small gifts made on site, such as honey from the restaurant's own hives or gingerbread.
Weddings and receptions
Le Club is the private reception area of the estate. It can be hired on its own for an evening or a full day. The team lists weddings and small ceremonies by the pond, birthdays, family reunions, christenings, aperitif dinners and parties with friends. Guests can sit at long shared tables or stand for a cocktail. A karaoke kit with a large screen and two microphones is offered as an option. The park and the pond give a setting for photographs.
Rooms and capacities
The estate lists four spaces for groups: the meeting room (65 m²), the reception lounge (45 m²), a dining room inside the restaurant that can be closed to other guests, and Le Club. Le Club has a lounge with a bar, a stone fireplace and Chesterfield sofas, an upright piano for live music and long tables under exposed beams. No capacity is published for any space. Ask the team for a figure that matches your layout.
Catering
All meals come from the restaurant kitchen. The chef, Yann Esclavont, cooks seasonal dishes made in-house and favors short supply chains. Seminar lunches follow the restaurant's seasonal menu. The restaurant warns that the kitchen handles common allergens, so traces cannot be ruled out. Regular service runs at lunch every day and at dinner from Thursday to Saturday.
Accommodation
The site does not mention bedrooms. Groups that need to stay overnight should plan for hotels in the Compiègne area.
History and setting
The restaurant sits on private grounds around a pond, with a terrace that faces the water, a dining room with a fireplace and a park. The site gives no history for the property.
Getting there
The address is Chemin de l'Abbaye, 60126 Longueil-Sainte-Marie. The estate has private parking and step-free access for guests with reduced mobility. Compiègne, with its train station, is about ten minutes away by car.
