Center Port Royal Located in the heart of the Chevreuse Valley, in Saint-Lambert-des-Bois.

Seminars – Hostel – Receptions

The story of the Centre Port-Royal began in 1963, when a group of Benedictine monks settled near the former abbey of Port-Royal-des-Champs, an important place for formatin and reflection. They created a seminar center enabling companies to gather and train their teams in the heart of the privileged natural setting of the Vallée de Chevreuse, a source of calm and inspiration. The Benedictine monks accompanied the project and built a priory.

In 2006, true to this history and these values of hospitality, the Augustinians of the Assumption took over from the monks and developed their charism here. In 2015, together with a team of lay people, they embarked on a major project to renovate, expand and modernize the Centre Port-Royal.

The new Centre Port-Royal opened its doors in July 2016 and offers its customers 10 equipped and connected meeting rooms, 55 rooms including 4 accessible to people with disabilities, a restaurant and relaxation areas.

In the Vallée de Chevreuse, in the heart of the forest and close to the Port Royal Center, the Assumptionist community welcomes individuals, families or small groups for recollections, days of solitude or “free management” retreats. Those who wish can share in the community’s prayer. Scout groups come regularly to take advantage of the 40 hectares of forest on the estate. Tents can be pitched on the estate.
