Château de la Bûcherie

A wedding at Château de la Bûcherie in the Vexin

In Saint-Cyr-en-Arthies, Val-d’Oise, Château de la Bûcherie offers exclusive hire of its estate for weddings and family receptions. The 19th-century château stands in a listed 65-hectare park with ponds, woodland, greenhouses and kitchen gardens. The offer combines reception spaces, accommodation, the Cambrousse restaurant and event support. The address is 5 Rue du Parc, 95510 Saint-Cyr-en-Arthies. A visit and quotation establish exactly which spaces and services are booked.

Spaces and capacities, without adding room limits together

The wedding brochure distinguishes Cambrousse restaurant, seating 40 adults and 10 children; two adjoining drawing rooms, seating 80 people or accommodating 90 for cocktails; and the Victoria room, seating 30 or accommodating 80 for the evening party. An upstairs room can supplement Victoria for the bar and lounge. For a larger dinner, an outdoor marquee in the gardens is available by quotation: its capacity and charges must be agreed with the estate. These are alternative arrangements, rather than capacities to add together. Victoria and Elizabeth are also advertised at 45 m² each, Firmin and Didot at 30 m², and Les 4 Anges at 50 m² for separate meeting layouts.

Staying on site: the château and Le Moulin cottage

The current website advertises 33 château rooms and suites. The brochure mentions 35 rooms, although its category breakdown totals 33: confirm the contractual number. It advertises an overall capacity of 76 adults and 15 children, with double and family rooms, Junior Suites and a Prestige Suite. Ten rooms can be arranged as twins; three have a convertible sofa. One accessible room can be adapted for an exclusive booking. Le Moulin is a separate cottage with three double bedrooms for six people, three bathrooms, a kitchen, two sitting rooms, a terrace and barbecue. Its split levels and narrow stairs should be considered when assessing accessibility. The website also offers a cot on request.
