Tailor-made residential seminars

Organising a residential or semi-residential seminar means offering your teams an immersive break, a unique experience combining work and relaxation in a setting conducive to exchanges. Whereez designs turnkey stays for your company throughout France, tailored to your needs and objectives.

Why choose a residential seminar with Whereez?

Of all corporate events, the residential seminar is by far the most immersive. But it's also one of the most complex to organise. Whereez can help you organise an unforgettable event.

Team building

More than a traditional seminar, a residential seminar naturally encourages cohesion between employees. By sharing a medium-term stay in a welcoming location, your teams have the opportunity to get to know each other in a different way, to create new links or strengthen existing ones. The team-building activities on offer, the convivial meals and the moments of relaxation are all opportunities to create a solid team spirit that will carry over into the day-to-day work.

Complete management, without logistical stress

Organising a large-scale event such as a residential or semi-residential seminar can seem difficult: choosing the right venue, arranging meeting rooms, finding accommodation with the right number of rooms, planning meals, organising activities and entertainment... Whereez takes care of all these aspects.

The complete management offered by our agency leaves you free to concentrate on the main objective of the seminar: our experts take care of finding a venue that meets your criteria, so that everything runs smoothly and stress-free.

Memorable activities

Residential seminars are full of opportunities to create lasting memories:

Training in fully-equipped rooms with high-speed internet connections to stimulate thought and learning
Work meetings in small groups in an exceptional setting to maximise the effectiveness of each session
Convivial meals, buffets or dinners in inspiring surroundings
Team-building activities to strengthen cohesion
Musical evenings and other activities to relax outside working hours.

What activities should be organised during a residential seminar?

While the classic seminar focuses mainly on meetings and presentations, the residential seminar stands out for the richness and diversity of the activities it offers.

Training

Throughout the stay, training sessions can be organised to enable participants to make effective progress on specific subjects, while enjoying a different working environment, in the city centre or by the sea.

Work meetings

Depending on the venue chosen and the number of participants, meetings can be held indoors or outdoors, around a table or standing up for a brunch, to enable constructive exchanges without neglecting comfort.

Team meals

Lunches and other catering occasions are informal moments for sharing and taking a break, allowing participants to release the daily pressure over a quality meal.

Teambuilding activities

Collaborative games, challenges, creative workshops or outdoor adventure courses: each activity proposed serves the company's objectives, while matching the profiles of the participants and your objectives.

Evenings

Residential seminars often include musical or themed evenings, ideal for bringing the day to a close in a good mood. A relaxed atmosphere that breaks down hierarchical barriers and allows employees to get to know each other better and create shared memories, far from the professional routine.

Our personalised approach to your needs

Not all companies are the same. For this simple reason, the residential seminars organised by Whereez are all tailor-made. The process starts by listening carefully to your objectives to define the ideal format for the event: duration, location, type of entertainment, meals - everything is tailored to your requirements.

Thanks to our expertise in the events sector, we can create a unique programme that perfectly balances work and relaxation. From logistics management to on-site team coordination, no detail is left to chance to make your corporate event a success!

Where to hold your residential seminar? Our favourite venues

The choice of venue for your residential seminar is crucial to its success. Wheerez offers a variety of options, suitable for all sectors of activity and for organisations of all sizes.

Castles, estates and manor houses

Two of our favourites for large companies are the Lyon Country House, a 12-hectare estate located halfway between the city and the countryside, on the banks of the Saône, and the Château de La Beaumetane, a small green setting not far from Marseille, in Lançon-Provence.

Hotels and villas

Between luxury and nature, the Domaine de Canaille in Cassis welcomes small groups of up to 24 people, or larger teams of up to 150. In a different, more relaxed and trendy style, Mama Shelter in Nice opens its doors to you for a colourful residential seminar with a holiday feel.

In the heart of nature

An eco-responsible gîte in the Ardèche, Les Blaches is the ideal venue for an environmentally-friendly seminar, in a relaxing, relaxing setting. And to take the experience even further, you can opt for a cabin in the middle of the forest, just an hour from Paris!

Atypical places

Are you looking for a place with character for your seminar in France? A former monastery in Haute-Provence or a Mongolian estate built on an old farm should be just what you need! Two unusual locations, for an event that will live long in the memory.

FAQ - Residential seminars

What is a residential seminar?

A residential seminar is a professional event that takes place over several days (whereas a traditional seminar usually lasts just one day), away from the office or company premises, and combines working time with time for sharing.

What is the ideal length of a residential seminar?

Although the event can last up to a week, in general, two or three days are enough to create an immersive experience and reap the benefits of these moments over the long term.
