In the heart of the bustling international landscape, Grand Roissy emerges as an enticing destination for association conferences and events. Representing a cluster of five vibrant municipalities around the renowned Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport—Roissy-en-France, Le Mesnil-Amelot, Gressy, Écouen, and Luzarches—this territory offers a compelling array of attractions and resources that make it an ideal choice for hosting gatherings of all kinds, far from the clichéd hustle of big cities.

Grand Roissy’s biggest allure is its exceptional connectivity. The presence of an international airport, coupled with a conveniently located TGV train station within the airport, ensures attendees can swiftly transition from arrival to their meeting venue or hotel room within minutes. Daily hi-speed train services from various French cities and neighboring Belgium make it effortlessly accessible for participants traveling from near and far.

One of Grand Roissy’s standout features is also its accommodation options, boasting 8,700 rooms. What sets these lodgings apart is their unwavering commitment to quality without the daunting price tags typically associated with international destinations. This affordability ensures a comfortable stay without breaking the bank.

With over 240 meeting and seminar rooms capable of accommodating up to 500 people theater-style, Grand Roissy offers a plethora of event spaces to cater to diverse needs. For those seeking distinctive event venues, the region presents a diverse selection of remarkable and surprising locations perfect for luncheons, cocktail receptions, or gala evenings. Among them let’s mention Roissy International Golf Course and its 2,700-sqm clubhouse or the Château d’Ecouen which can welcome up to 800 guests.

Beyond its conference capabilities, this destination serves as a gateway to a plethora of tourist attractions within a 50-kilometer radius. From the historic Château de Chantilly to the exhilarating Parc Astérix, from Disneyland Paris and the tranquil Abbaye de Royaumont, there’s a wealth of pre- and post-conference excursion opportunities. Additionally, Grand Roissy, with its historical significance, offers a remarkable cultural heritage that includes castles, manors, abbeys, Gothic churches, cobbled streets, and museums, providing a genuine sense of place and heritage to enrich your events. And, of course, the vibrant city of Paris itself is a mere stone’s throw away, situated less than 25 kilometers distant!

And you won’t have to do this alone. The Grand Roissy Tourism Office is committed to assisting associations in organizing their conferences. This support includes building candidacy files, presenting the region, offering competitive proposals, and even participating in candidate presentation meetings. Furthermore, the office aids in arranging inspection visits, planning tour itineraries, and coordinating appointments with local venues and service providers relevant to the association’s needs.

In essence, Grand Roissy emerges as a distinctive destination where accessibility, affordability, and authenticity converge to create an enticing backdrop for association conferences.
