Your seminar at the château
Château de Villers-Bocage, set in the heart of Normandy, is a green retreat that fosters reflection and creativity.
Gentle, peaceful nights in the bedrooms, waking to the scent of croissants and coffee and the song of birds, before gathering for a homemade breakfast made with local produce — crusty bread fresh from the oven, Norman crème fraîche, château honey, jams from our orchard, apple tarts and Norman cakes — a generous spread celebrating the simple pleasures of the palate. You are ready to begin your meeting with a relaxed and rested mind.
Everything is within easy reach for your working session in the available lounges, the informal room or the grounds.
Your coffee break will be waiting outside your meeting room after a conference, or in the estate’s grounds — an exceptional place to breathe in the fresh air amidst lush greenery. At the end of the day, aperitifs and dinner are cherished moments of conviviality and relaxation. A conversation by a fireside or over a glass of Calvados by the ponds with close colleagues: these are the moments that build team cohesion.
