Challenge no. 1: I organize a responsible BtoB event to affirm my company's commitment to society.

Issue no. 2: I treat myself to nature in residence with a green corporate retreat
At a time when society as a whole is facing accelerating structural changes in the way we work, company directors are keen to offer their employees moments of sharing and team-building. What better way to do this than by going green?
Creating links and shared experiences
From fast-growing start-ups to large established companies, team-building and residential stays are becoming increasingly popular. You can recharge your batteries and get to know your colleagues in a different way, during a time out in a working vineyard less than an hour from Lyon, as in the delightful Maisons du Bonheur.

And so, against the backdrop of the carefully laid-out grounds ofa château on the banks of the Loireor, a few kilometers west of Paris, in the verdant setting of the Maurice Denis Museumcreativity flows from the very sources of nature.
Challenge no. 3: celebrate regional heritage for a meaningful business event

Organizing a business event outside Paris meets two essential requirements of modern, coherent communication: reinforcing the company's brand identity and creating meaningful moments.
Work on powerful corporate branding
For better or worse, economic and market globalization has transformed the commercial and financial landscape. The result is a blurring of the corporate image. To counter this apparent standardization of products, it's important to emphasize the difference and uniqueness of one's offering. Do you want to tie in with French industrial tradition or celebrate the arts through the centuries? In one case, you can dare to be daring and fanciful, rooted in France's great history, with a gala dinner in the enchanting manège of the Académie équestre de Versailles.Académie équestre de Versailles. Or opt for the avant-garde Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans or the spectacular Sucrièrea sugar warehouse reinvented on the banks of the Rhône in the ultra-modern Confluence district.
Your meaningful event
Nothing rings hollow like an anecdotal event. Your professional cocktail party or corporate seminar conveys your values. Holding your business event at a regional cultural heritage site offers you a unique opportunity to send a powerful double message to the public and the media:
- By privatizing an exceptional heritage site venues , you contribute to its conservation efforts and its long-term survival.
