BORDEAUX SEMINAR FAQ

Your questions about
your seminar in Bordeaux.

Why choose Bordeaux for a seminar?+×

Bordeaux brings together the prestige of its grand cru wines, UNESCO-listed architecture, the dynamism of a booming metropolis, and the Atlantic Ocean just 60 km away. Only 2h05 from Paris by TGV, the city effortlessly brings together national teams. With over 200 partner venues, it accommodates all formats, from an executive committee (CODIR) meeting in a classified grand cru château to a convention for 1,500 people.

How to get to Bordeaux with a group?+×

The TGV connects Paris-Montparnasse to Bordeaux in 2h05, with departures every 30 minutes during peak hours. Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport serves over 100 European destinations, and Saint-Jean station is 10 minutes from the city centre by tram. The city also offers connections to Toulouse, Nantes, and Madrid for international groups.

Which area should you choose based on your seminar's objective?+×

For an executive committee meeting or a premium convention, the Triangle d'Or and its 18th-century UNESCO-listed private mansions. For a creative workshop or an innovation seminar, the lofts of Saint-Michel or the Darwin ecosystem, a rehabilitated former barracks. For a spectacular effect, the Cité du Vin on the quays; for a residential seminar, the Médoc châteaux; for outdoor activities, the Bassin d'Arcachon.

Which venues accommodate very large groups?+×

The Cité du Vin, an architectural masterpiece on the banks of the Garonne, hosts conventions for up to 600 people, featuring a panoramic viewpoint and a main stage. The Darwin ecosystem can accommodate up to 400 participants in a creative atmosphere. For exceptional formats catering for up to 1,500 people, we combine several spaces along the quays.

Can we stay in a château in Médoc or Saint-Émilion?+×

Yes: we have selected around twenty châteaux and private estates with accommodation in Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Entre-Deux-Mers. They host from 10 to 150 people, offering meeting rooms, 18th-century vaulted cellars, relaxation areas, and on-site catering. This is France's most iconic wine-themed residential seminar option.

What budget should you plan for a seminar in Bordeaux?+×

Bordeaux offers excellent value for money. The budget depends on the chosen format, venue, number of participants, catering, accommodation, and activities, with a natural difference between a day without accommodation and a 2-day residential seminar in a Médoc château. Private châteaux with accommodation remain competitive compared to Paris, offering an incomparable setting. After an initial discussion, we will provide you with a selection of venues and a detailed quote tailored to your objectives.

What unique team building activities are available in Bordeaux?+×

Grand cru wine tasting in a vaulted cellar led by a sommelier, electric bike tours through the vineyards of Saint-Émilion or Médoc, a medieval rally in UNESCO-listed Saint-Émilion, or an oyster trip by traditional *pinasse* boat on the Bassin d'Arcachon. For oceanic energy, a surf session on the beaches of Lacanau or Hossegor. We orchestrate winemakers, instructors, and oyster farmers.

Can Bordeaux be combined with Arcachon or Biarritz?+×

Absolutely: Arcachon is 60 minutes away and Biarritz is a 1h50 drive. We design multi-stage programmes, for example, a working day in Bordeaux followed by a half-day oyster tasting in Arcachon, or a surf getaway southwards for a 2 to 3-day residential seminar. The diversity of the Gironde landscapes lends itself perfectly to combined stays.

What is the best time for a seminar in Bordeaux?+×

Bordeaux is suitable all year round. May-June, before the grape harvest, and September-October, during the harvest, are the most sought-after periods for tastings and château visits. Summer is ideal for getaways to the Bassin d'Arcachon, while winter offers the best château rates, in an intimate atmosphere.
