Corporate seminars

A considered company moment, from the first brief to boarding

You share the date, the number of guests and the tone you want for the day. We compose a rhythm around the Basin: time on the water, oyster tasting, lunch on board or on the sand, and the right partners on shore when the day calls for them.

Guidance

We shape a fluid day, true to your team and to the rhythm of the Basin.

A format built around your intention: gather, thank, unite or host.

A careful reading of the group, the tides, the season and the level of service expected.

Partners chosen for their welcome, discretion and local roots.

Possible formats

Four ways to experience the Basin for a day

Each seminar finds its own pace. These intentions are starting points that we adapt to your guests, your timing and the light of the day.

Corporate lunch on the beach during an Arcachon seminar

Basin discovery by Raba pinasse

An elegant cruise to read the Basin from the water: Île aux Oiseaux, cabanes tchanquées, Banc d’Arguin or Cap Ferret, depending on tides, weather and the desired rhythm.

Lunch on board during a corporate event on the Arcachon Basin

Lunch on the water or on the sand

A generous pause built around the setting: seafood, premium picnic, seated lunch, beach stop or partner table, without the feeling of a standard restaurant program.

Oyster tasting during a company seminar in Arcachon

Oyster tasting and local pause

A more sensory moment around oyster cabins, maritime heritage and the places that make Arcachon feel distinct from a conventional seminar destination.

Cabanes tchanquées seen during a corporate boat outing
