Maison Nelson in Villecerf is a country house one hour from Paris by car with a 150 square meter reception hall for up to 100 guests, 11 bedrooms and a heated pool. It hosts seminars, weddings and private events on a 6,500 square meter property.
Seminars and company events
The official text lists seminars and conferences among the uses of the house, along with film shoots and photo shoots. The reception hall measures 150 square meters, with exposed beams and old-style fireplaces, and holds up to 100 people. Because the house has 11 bedrooms, a whole team can stay on site and work in the same place for the length of the event. The living rooms also include a large table, large sofas and a fireplace, which gives groups several spaces besides the main hall.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings come first among the occasions listed on the events page, followed by seminars and private events. The reception hall holds up to 100 guests. Outside, the house has terraces, a heated pool and a large wooded garden crossed by a river. An independent apartment on the property offers a separate place to stay.
Rooms and capacities
The house covers 550 square meters of living space on a 6,500 square meter property. It has 11 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. The reception hall is 150 square meters and the official maximum is 100 people. The site does not give separate capacities for each layout, so ask the owners which seating plan fits your group, for example banquet tables or rows for a conference.
Accommodation
The 11 bedrooms are designed to accommodate families and large groups of friends, and the same rooms serve a team on a seminar. The house also includes an independent apartment. The site has a separate page for the bedrooms, with the details of each one.
Catering
The pages provided do not describe an in-house restaurant or a list of approved caterers. For a seminar or a wedding, ask the owners how the kitchen can be used and whether you bring your own caterer.
History and setting
The house has had several lives. The official history says it was a summer house for a well-known French actress named Catherine and later hosted large dinners for three former presidents. It has since been fully renovated. The setting is rural, far from the city, with a river running through the garden.
Getting there
Villecerf is about one hour from Paris by car. The pages provided do not name a train station, so check the access page of the site or ask the owners for the best way to reach the house without a car.
