When the winter doldrums depress the immune system as much as the most creative brain, it's urgent to act. To give your business events a boost, fill up on vitamin D with Loc'Hall. Discover five original ideas for your corporate evening in exceptional heritage and cultural venues from our collection.

The company party, an essential part of professional life

If your company has more than one employee, chances are you've organized at least one company party. If you care about your customers, you've invited them. And if you've been doing it for years, you may have run out of original ideas for your business event.

But, you may ask, is originality really that essential for a business party? In a short - and Norman - answer: yes and no...

No, it's not: your company is built on a traditional, reassuring image. Likewise, if you know that your target audience doesn't take kindly to eccentricities. From now on, you'll be betting on the durability of tradition, an unchanging French excellence. You'll find heritage and cultural venues that exude serenity and an elegance that has transcended time. A summer evening at Royaumont Abbey or a concert in the Sainte-Chapelle for an audience of music-loving guests is a superlative without the need to overdo it.

Yes... in just about every other case.

Stand out

Does your company have its finger on the pulse of trends? Does it target a clientele of thirty-somethings and forty-somethings? Forget conventional parties and smooth classicism. Dare to be a little offbeat, a little crazy, even a little eccentric.

Wake up

Shake things up and inject new energy and creativity into your teams. Of course, a company party often has a promotional purpose: product launch, influencer campaign, showcasing your strength to attract new financial partners. But it's also the ideal opportunity to get people talking again, and give your staff a new perspective.

Have fun

Even in the very serious world of business, we're entitled to cultivate our share of childhood. Give your customers and partners the opportunity to rediscover the pleasure of playing: costumes, masks and time travel will engrave unforgettable memories in the minds of all your guests at this extraordinary evening.

5 original ideas for your corporate evening at a cultural heritage site

Very Paris" corporate evening at the Moulin Rouge

Cliché, you may ask? But it's true, a corporate evening at the Moulin Rouge still transports spectators to the Paris immortalized by painter Toulouse-Lautrec. Flamboyance, endless legs and feathers in flight, the acts follow one another as they sample the delicacies for which the famous Parisian mill is famous.

Reserve a few tables with an unobstructed view of the stage, or take over the entire venue for a tailor-made experience. Either way, you'll immerse your foreign guests and partners in a So Paris evening that will leave them with stars in their eyes.

⏩ Dare to hold your next company party in a concert hall!

Masked ball at the Domaine de Madame Élisabeth

If, like us, you loved the Marie-Antoinette by Sofia Coppola, then, Madame Elisabeth's Domain will touch your heart.. And you already know what we're getting you into!

Let your imagination run wild for a refined, baroque masked ball:

Organize a mask giveaway when your guests arrive.
Include a photobooth with a historical backdrop, so that your guests can take home a souvenir of the moment.
Play with contrasts. A rock band in period costume and powdered wigs. Food trucks scattered across the lawn and mysterious, cheerfully colored cocktails.

Imagination is the key! Offbeat and glamorous, for an original, luxurious evening that pokes fun at codes without taking itself too seriously.

On va déguster" evening at Bordeaux's Cité du Vin

Sometimes the bottle is the harbinger of intoxication - in moderation, of course. Would you like to seduce epicurean customers or thank your staff with an elegant and joyful evening? Take over one or more areas of the Cité du Vin, an immense futuristic vessel of exceptional contemporary architecture. Bet on quality and fantasy: cocktail tastings prepared by baristas, immersive olfactory plunges into aromas, meals with food and wine pairings commented on by oenologists. Don't hesitate to organize friendly competitions to create a healthy sense of competition: a blind tasting, for example, with a case of wine as the prize.

Exploration evening at the Musée du Quai Branly: an original and chic idea for your corporate event

Treat your corporate evening the breathtaking setting and incomparable collections of the Musée du Quai Branly. First, enjoy a private tour under the attentive guidance of a museum expert. Then, on the heated terrace, enjoy unforgettable moments with a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower. When the weather's fine, your cocktail reception in the rare-growth garden will literally take your guests away. A string quartet plays in the Théâtre de Verdure. Or why not, as a tribute to the French President behind this grandiose project, a demonstration of noh?

Medieval evening at the Palais Jacques Coeur

Every Berruyer will tell you: if there's one place in Bourges that's not to be missed, it's the Palais Jacques Coeur. The "Grant'Maison" of the Grand Argentier of King Charles VII tells a superb story of the life of the upper middle classes in the Middle Ages. Why not invite your guests on a journey through the centuries for an immersive medieval evening in a magnificent example of flamboyant Gothic architecture?

It all begins with a cocktail party in the main courtyard:

Welcome your guests with a guard of honor, in the sublime square courtyard lit by torches.
A master falconer displays his majestic birds of prey on his gloved arm.
Archers demonstrate their art.

Then you're off to the Salle des Festins, for a meal inspired by medieval menus: pies and pâtés, venison and ancient vegetables, accompanied by the gentle sound of a delicate troubadour's lute... The magic happens.
