The Club Destination Vallée de Chevreuse at La Roche Couloir
On Monday 12 October 2026, Domaine de la Roche Couloir in Chevreuse welcomed nearly 40 members of the Club Destination Vallée de Chevreuse for their monthly meeting, held as an éductour. On the programme: network news, a tour of the estate and a networking coffee around the Pavilion's fireplace.
This meeting shows what an unusual venue, 35 minutes from Paris, can bring to a professional gathering: a memorable setting, more natural conversations and new collaborations between local businesses.

What is the Club Destination Vallée de Chevreuse?
The Club Destination Vallée de Chevreuse is a network of tourism and business travel professionals based in the Chevreuse Valley. It brings together accommodation providers, seminar venues, artisans, restaurateurs and activity providers.
Its members meet every month at a venue in the area. The principle is simple: share news from the network, discover the host venue and take time to talk. The club's stated goal is to build offers and experiences together that showcase the destination.
After the October meeting at Domaine de la Roche Couloir, the next one was scheduled for Monday 2 November at Le Barn.
A familiarization tour at Domaine de la Roche Couloir on 12 October 2026
A familiarization tour is a discovery visit reserved for professionals. It allows a venue to present itself in real conditions to those who can then recommend it: accommodation providers, suppliers, agencies or partner venues.
On Monday 12 October 2026, nearly 40 members of the Club Destination Vallée de Chevreuse were welcomed at Domaine de la Roche Couloir, one of the eight estates in the Domaines & événements collection. Participants gathered around the large fireplace in the Pavilion, before sharing a coffee with a selection of small desserts.
The club summed up the experience with a touch of humour: a meeting in an Avoriaz chalet, but in Chevreuse. A nod to the estate's architecture, designed by the Atelier d'Architecture d'Avoriaz.
The familiarization tour was organised by Claire Bompard, who brought together a large number of professionals. On site, guests were welcomed by Michael Chauvin, director of Domaine de la Roche Couloir.
A three-part programme
As at every club meeting, the day followed a clear structure:
- news from the club and its members, to share updates on everyone's projects;
- a discovery tour of Domaine de la Roche Couloir, a unique venue in the heart of the Chevreuse forest;
- a networking coffee, to get to know each other, exchange ideas and imagine new collaborations.
Why hold a professional meeting in an unusual venue?
A professional meeting in an unusual venue encourages conversation, because the setting takes participants out of their routine. A fireplace, a forest, unexpected architecture: these elements spark conversation and make the meeting more memorable than a standard meeting room.
For a network like the Club Destination Vallée de Chevreuse, this choice is also practical:
- getting to know local venues: an accommodation provider or supplier recommends a venue more easily once they have visited it;
- building real connections: members spot how their offers complement each other;
- testing a format: a meeting, a visit and a social moment, exactly what many companies look for in their own seminars.
For a seminar venue, hosting a familiarization tour is also a way to show what it can do. Participants experience the estate just as employees would during a countryside seminar.
What does Domaine de la Roche Couloir offer for a corporate meeting?
Domaine de la Roche Couloir is a former hunting lodge built for industrialist Jean-Jacques Goupil by the Atelier d'Architecture d'Avoriaz, in the heart of the Chevreuse forest. Taken over by Domaines & événements in 2019, it now hosts seminars, meetings, team building events, weddings and private events.
For a corporate meeting, the estate offers:
- the Pavilion, 140 m² around its central fireplace, for up to 120 guests for a cocktail reception;
- the Dome, 175 m², for up to 120 seated guests;
- outdoor spaces on the edge of the forest, for breaks, receptions or activities;
- team building activities suited to the forest: vintage Volkswagen van rally, biathlon challenge, archery, treasure hunt or guided mountain bike ride.
The estate is located in Chevreuse, in the Yvelines, about 35 minutes from Paris. It can also be reached from Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse station, the terminus of the RER B line.
The estate regularly hosts a wide range of corporate formats, such as the BMW Mini rally held in June 2026. For more ideas, read our 10 team building activities to organise in a private estate.
Why choose the Chevreuse Valley for a countryside seminar?
The Chevreuse Valley makes it possible to hold a countryside seminar without a long journey from Paris. Much of the area lies within the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Regional Nature Park, with its forests, characterful villages and historic heritage.
An active network of local professionals is a further advantage for event organisers. Accommodation providers, restaurateurs, artisans and activity providers can complement a seminar venue's offer and help build multi-day programmes.
Around the estate, participants can also visit the Château de la Madeleine, the Château de Breteuil or the Musée Grataloup, all within a few minutes' drive.
Local roots that matter to Domaines & événements
Welcoming local businesses is part of the Domaines & événements approach. Each estate is rooted in its region and works with local partners to create its events.
Hosting the Club Destination Vallée de Chevreuse also reflects the group's promise: bringing people together. A successful professional meeting relies on the same ingredients as a successful seminar: a venue that brings people together, a clear programme and time to talk.
