Some seminars need distance rather than proximity: a leadership team that should step away from the office, or a sales force that works better after an afternoon outdoors. The Domaine de Maffliers offers that break in a wooded park north of Paris while keeping Charles de Gaulle within half an hour, which suits international participants who fly in for a two-day retreat.

Which events it suits

Residential seminars, executive committees and team retreats of a few dozen people, with the château restaurants for dinners and the park and activities for team building. The largest meeting room, Les Cèdres, seats 140, so the estate is not designed for conferences of several hundred; for larger groups near the airport, see the hotels in our CDG guide.

Getting there

Most groups arrive by coach or car, since the nearest station, Montsoult-Maffliers on Transilien line H, is 3 km away. Plan a coach transfer from Charles de Gaulle, about 20 to 30 minutes by road, and from central Paris, about 45 minutes. Check traffic on the A1 at peak hours when timing arrivals.

Compare with

For a meeting within minutes of the terminals rather than in the countryside, compare the Pullman Paris Roissy CDG Airport or the Van der Valk Hotel Paris CDG Airport; all options are in our guide to event venues near Paris CDG.
