La Villa Carat

Set a few steps from Parc Barbieux, this elegant 1910 residence brings together characterful accommodation and intimate event spaces for teams that want focus without fuss. The property offers four thoughtfully designed studios and one larger apartment, each with a kitchenette, high-quality bedding, private bathroom and fast fibre Wi‑Fi. Stays from one night to several weeks are welcome, making it a smart base for business travellers and visiting faculty at the nearby EDHEC campus.

For event planners, the house is privatised for your group, creating a calm, homely setting for senior meetings, training and strategy sessions. Two bright salons open to the garden and can be configured in theatre, U-shape or classroom layouts. Essential kit comes as standard, including a large mobile screen, video projector, paperboards and a whiteboard, with reliable connectivity throughout. Breaks are easy to manage, with quality coffee and tea available all day, plus optional sweet and savoury pauses. Simple buffet-style lunches can be arranged, or you can opt for meal trays from your preferred supplier, with dietary needs taken into account.

Practicalities are well covered: private parking on site, an electric vehicle charging point, and swift access to Lille by car or via metro line 2 from Mairie de Croix. With capacity tailored to small groups, peaceful interiors and five apartments on the same estate, this is an appealing choice for residential seminars, board meetings and discreet offsites in the Lille‑Roubaix‑Tourcoing area.
