Getting there

Closer than you think.

By air

Just a train ride from Paris, or Deauville and Caen airports for private charters, with helicopter access and dedicated VIP services.

By rail

Fast trains from Paris to Rouen, Caen and the coast, then private chauffeured transfers to your château or clifftop manor.

VIP transfers

Chauffeured Mercedes, Range Rovers and vintage cars through the countryside, plus private helicopter transfers over Mont-Saint-Michel and the coast.

Where every stone tells a story

A thousand years on the shore.

From Mont-Saint-Michel rising out of the tides to the D-Day beaches and the medieval streets of Rouen, Normandy holds the history that shaped Europe — abbeys and manors that answer to no one. Your event steps into that story.

We open the doors a booking form can't — Mont-Saint-Michel after the tide turns, a private viewing of the Bayeux Tapestry, a clifftop manor closed to the public.

As the light goes long over the Channel, strategy gives way to the evening — a clifftop terrace, a glass of aged Calvados, the chalk cliffs of Étretat glowing gold. This is where the real conversations happen.

The corporate brief

Why the Normandy?

Immersive Experience: Engage in strategic planning sessions in the shadow of Mont Saint Michel, where every stone tells a story of medieval marvels. Wrap up a day of meetings with a sunset tour of the abbey, where tides dictate the pace—much like the market trends dictate business strategy.

Quirky Insight: Normandy’s weather may be as changeable as the stock market, but its impact on history is as solid as the limestone cliffs that guard the coastline. It’s the only place where you might need an umbrella and sunglasses at the same time!

Exclusive Venues & Historical Haunts

Featured Venues: Conduct your sessions in a chateau that once housed kings or in a secluded manor where Normandy’s famed apples dot the landscape. Each location offers not just privacy and luxury but a touch of the historical drama that shaped Europe.

Hidden Gems: Or perhaps hold a team-building exercise on the D-Day beaches, where strategic discussions can draw inspiration from one of history’s most significant military operations.

Tailored Itineraries

Sample Itinerary

Day One: Arrival and check-in at a countryside chateau, followed by a welcome dinner featuring local Camembert and cider.

Day Two: Morning meetings, then an afternoon guided tour of WWII sites.

Day Three: Spend the afternoon experiencing the thrill of sand yachting along the Normandy coast. Conclude the day with a gala dinner in an art-filled estate, celebrating your team’s achievements in a unique and exhilarating setting.

Unique Activities: Replace coffee breaks with calvados tastings, or offer a mid-conference tour of the Bayeux Tapestry, turning every pause into an opportunity for cultural enrichment.

Culinary Delights & Artistic Inspirations

Gastronomic Tours: From Michelin-starred restaurants to rustic seaside oyster bars, Normandy’s culinary scene is as rich as its history. Indulge in dishes that feature the best of land and sea, all paired with local apple ciders or Calvados for a true taste of the region. In Normandy, the humble apple reigns supreme. Participate in a cooking class centered around this star ingredient, learning to prepare delights like tarte Tatin, apple salads, and caramelized apple dishes.

Artistic Legacy: Follow in the footsteps of Monet and explore the enchanting landscapes that inspired Impressionism. Offer your team an afternoon of plein-air painting, guided by a local artist, to unlock their creative potential.

Connect and Reflect

Getting There and Around: Normandy is just a train ride away from Paris, yet feels a world apart. Arrange for private coaches or even vintage cars to transport your team through the region, ensuring every journey is as comfortable as it is inspiring.
