Are you planning a seminar in Île-de-France and looking for suitable venues and practical suggestions? The good news is that you’ve chosen Europe’s leading tourist destination, which is ideal for events yet remains predominantly green and pleasant.
These 2% of France’s territory offer each seminar venue a different setting in which to hold your event.
To the south: Atypiic welcomes you to Seine-et-Marne (77) and Essonne (91). Stay in one of our hotels set in the green countryside and enjoy calm surroundings, on-site accommodation and catering, and activities accessible in under an hour from Paris.
In the west of the Paris Region (92, 78), seminar venues located between Greater Paris and Versailles are close to business centres, as well as sporting and cultural activities.
Our listed hotels in the north can only accommodate your groups, as there are no on-site seminar venues. However, we include Oise (60)! Chantilly and Compiègne are often referred to as Île-de-France seminar destinations. In fact, the name ‘Île-de-France’ comes from the rivers that once formed a royal ‘island’: the Seine, the Marne, the Loing and the Oise.
With Atypiic, each Ile-de-France seminar venue hire has its own personality.
If you’re looking for a seminar venue in Île-de-France that is close to economic centres, consider destinations on the outskirts of Paris. This is the most practical option if your teams are based in several locations across the Paris region, or if you have limited time for transfers.
The Mercure Paris Boulogne is just 500 m from the Porte de Saint-Cloud and offers a rooftop area for gourmet breaks, a private bar-restaurant, and full-board packages for up to 180 guests. It is ideal for meetings or seminars lasting one or more nights in Greater Paris.
At the Mercure Paris Ouest in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, you can rest assured that your venue is within easy reach for your teams, with La Défense just 15 minutes away! An added bonus is that the seminar spaces look out over the forest. The living areas open onto a private indoor garden. This setting is particularly appreciated for its tranquillity in the city!
If you’re looking for a seminar venue in the Paris region that offers a change of scenery, head to one of the Atypiic venues in the heart of nature. The aim is to relieve stress and stimulate creativity.
The Best Western Plus L’Orée Paris Sud in Essonne ticks all the boxes: Rocher de Saulx forest, a 5-hectare park 35 minutes from Paris, 8 seminar spaces, in-house cuisine and even free-roaming horses. Ideal for an Ile-de-France company retreat with outdoor activities: petanque, volleyball, nature team-building (bird sanctuary, survival, Lego challenge…).
Another venue is the Mercure Chantilly, also on the edge of a forest, with swimming pools, wellness areas and full board accommodation for up to 300 participants. A must for a large-scale, fun and nature-filled seminar, with meeting rooms offering plunging views over the waterways, in the shade of the trees, for a deep moment of unplugging… just 45 minutes from Paris!
Day 1: brunch, ice-breaker, conference, free time or activity, dinner on the terrace
Day 2: Bootcamp, traditional lunch, workshops, theme evening
Another popular option is a seminar venue in the Île-de-France region that has its own golf course. The idea is to combine team-building with the health benefits of sport.
Partner hotels in Chantilly or Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines offer morning meetings, followed by introductory golf lessons or tournaments for more experienced players in the afternoon, and a gala dinner at the end of the day. This is an ideal option for sales networks or general management holding mid-scale seminars, and is a particularly convivial idea.
Here are a few specific examples, which can be adapted to suit the season, transport and your requirements, to save you some [good] time.
