The future Chateauform Marseille-Longchamp.

Chateauform', the Europe's leading organiser of seminars, events and training coursesannounced yesterday that it would be closing its stores until better weather arrives, at least until 15 April. " It is with a heavy heart that we close the doors of our beautiful homes, explains the Group's communications department. The unprecedented crisis we are going through is forcing us to step away temporarily to protect each and every one of us. Many companies are supporting us through this difficult period by already planning their future events or reprogramming those that could not be held."

As a result, the inauguration of Chateauform' Marseille-Longchamp, scheduled for March, has been postponed. This opening is a small event in itself for the French group. In fact, the establishment is the first to offer an urban residential offer - 51 rooms - Chateauform' having up to now been accustomed to invest old mansions in the great green to host corporate meetings. A spirit that has now been extended to the urban world. The Marseilles site, housed in a nineteenth-century mansion long owned by a line of wealthy industrialists, has plenty of character, with its blend of Empire-era orientalism and Art Deco style.

So it's fitting that the house has taken on an Arts Décoratifs theme, with a mix of neo-classical to rococo furnishings from the bedrooms to the meeting rooms. While each bedroom has a different configuration - some with a frame of wallpaper at the head of the bed, others with an alcove for a dressing room or office area, and still others, in twin format, with a mezzanine - the meeting rooms are housed in separate rooms. cosy lounges with ornate ceilings and period stained glass windows.

Located right in the heart of Marseille, 15 minutes from the Vieux Port and 10 minutes on foot from Gare Saint-Charles, the Châteauform' Marseille-Longchamp is therefore easily accessible for teams from France and abroad, and offers workspaces designed for productive and creative days. The venue has 10 multi-format rooms ranging from 20 to 85 m2, with everything you need for group brainstorming sessions (creativity kit, energizers, expression surface, etc.). There is also a second floor with two work rooms and a cocktail area. can be privatisedAll overlooking a private garden. There's also a hidden gem: a 300 m2 garden away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
