Located between vineyards and the Atlantic ocean, Bordeaux was listed as UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007. The listed area includes many protected buildings in classic and neo classic style, making it an appealing destination at which to organise your next corporate seminar or incentive trip in the vineyards. Prime examples of Bordeaux heritage are the majestic Pey-Berland tower, Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul-et-Saint-André cathedral, the historic centre of old Bordeaux, built during the Age of Enlightenment. The centre makes for a pleasant walk and is highly propitious to the organisation ofincentive and team-building activities.
Above all, Bordeaux represents an art of living geared around wine-growing and the great wines of the region. As a starting point to follow the wine route, and taste its legendary appellations, Bordeaux is a major destination in France at which to organise your corporate event, seminar, convention, AGM, roadshow, board meeting or team-building event.
Bordeaux’s authentic charm, reachability (flights from Paris take just 1hr!), and the possibility of organising specific incentive and team-building activities all make it a premium destination in France at which to organise a corporate event (seminar, convention, board meeting, team building or roadshow).
