Corporate retreat venue in the Gers · 6 to 20 people Your team in the countryside, a whole house, zero distractions
Two days under the beams to make real progress: a large, bright meeting room, fibre broadband, accommodation on site, the pool in the evening and a goat farm to get you away from the slides.
The formats
Three ways to work here
1 day
Away-day
Up to 20 people. The main room for plenary sessions, the préau, a 120 m² covered terrace, and the mezzanine for breakout groups, catered lunch under the préau. From 9:00 to 18:00.
2 to 3 days
Residential retreat
Up to 14 people sleeping on site. You work during the day, dine together and pick up again the next morning with no commute. The format that bonds a team.
Who sleeps where: 6 people in bedrooms (3 rooms of 2, with a double or twin beds) and 8 in the dormitory of single bunk beds. For a room per person, gîtes 5 minutes' walk away accommodate the rest of the team.
Bespoke
Team day
Less meeting, more bonding: a visit to the goat herd, a cheese-making workshop, a hike over the hills, Madiran wine tasting, the pool and a long-table dinner in the evening.

Getting here
In the countryside, but not the back of beyond
