Why not host your next corporate retreat in the countryside?

To foster creativity and strengthen team cohesion, an increasing number of companies are choosing to gather in the heart of nature.

Discover the benefits of a countryside retreat and the experiences we offer at our gîte in Surgères.


A countryside retreat: a new way of working together


Say goodbye to impersonal meeting rooms and days spent confined within four walls!

Countryside retreats are becoming a popular choice for companies looking to offer their employees a different kind of working environment.

Away from the demands of daily life, nature encourages a fresh perspective, freer communication, and a new approach to projects.

It is also an ideal opportunity to strengthen bonds between colleagues. Conversations can continue over a meal, during a walk, or while taking part in a shared activity—all in a more relaxed atmosphere.

A change of scenery can make all the difference when it comes to creativity and team cohesion.


La Garenne Saint-Germain: a retreat surrounded by nature, near La Rochelle


Located in Surgères between La Rochelle and Rochefort La Garenne Saint-Germain welcomes you to a lush, green setting, perfect for both work and rejuvenation.

Our estate specializes in intimate, small-scale retreats: we can accommodate up to 11 people for overnight stays, or up to 20 people for day-long events.

For your meetings and workshops, make use of "La Mansarde" a 60 m² space that can host up to 30 people.

And to keep the conversation going beyond your formal work sessions, our on-site gîtes allow your team to enjoy a convivial stay, set to the gentle pace of the Charente countryside.


Unique team-building activities to strengthen cohesion


At La Garenne Saint-Germain, a corporate seminar is about much more than just meetings!

We offer a range of à la carte activities to enrich your program and provide unique, shared experiences.

Discover our family-run organic farm, take part in a bread-making workshop, or explore local flavors with a visit to an oyster farm—complete with an oyster tasting.

To explore group dynamics from a fresh perspective, we can also bring in various experts to work with your teams:
  • A former international rugby player to discuss collective performance, team building, and stress management. 
  • Voice specialists to help develop public speaking skills and oral confidence. 
  • An endurance athlete to share lessons from ultra-trail running that can be applied to business challenges. 
  • A chocolate expert to lead a delicious, hands-on chocolate workshop.

These experiences are the perfect way to combine work, enjoyment, and team spirit!
