Corporate retreats
for 10-15 people.
Work and unwind, 30 minutes from Chalon-sur-Saône TGV station.
Looking for a venue for a small corporate retreat, a leadership offsite, a sales kick-off, an internal training session or a team building? The cottage Un P'tit Bout de Ciel in Verdun-Ciel (Saône-et-Loire, 71350) offers an ideal setting to combine work and relaxation, with full privatisation.
Just 30 minutes from Chalon-sur-Saône TGV station (1 h 25 from Paris, 50 min from Lyon), the cottage hosts up to 15 participants during the day and offers 15 sleeping spaces for a residential retreat over 2 or 3 days. The compact format is a feature, not a constraint: no anonymous hotel function room, no corridor noise — the team lives together.
The setting — Côte chalonnaise vineyards, Voie Bleue cycle path, Cluny abbey 45 min away — does the rest: geographic isolation forces focus, and Burgundy works its magic in the evenings.
Everything you need to work.
The right format for small teams.
15 people is the size at which everyone speaks and real decisions get made. The cottage is calibrated for these compact formats that actually produce something.
Executive committee, board offsite. Confidential setting, deliberate isolation, no corridor leaks.
Year launch, roadmap presentation, alignment on objectives. 15 people in 2-day immersion.
