Original Corporate Retreats on a Private Forest Estate near Bordeaux.
Your team has already done the lakeside seminar and the chateau in the Loire. This time, they sleep in a Kubrick bubble, a yurt, or a Gatsby suite. On a private 5-hectare forest estate near Bordeaux, the corporate retreat becomes a story they'll still tell in three years.

A corporate retreat venue that doesn't look like a corporate retreat venue.
Lost in Sensations is a 5-hectare private estate between Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion, where every space tells a different story. Six cinematic accommodations, three modular event rooms up to 300 people, a heated pool, four jacuzzis, a barrel sauna, and a forest. Your team checks in. The corporate world stays at the gate.
01
Sensory Team Building Days
Forest escape games. Drone races through the pinewoods. Perfume creation, rum masterclass, insect-and-wine pairings, ground and aerial yoga. Team building activities that engage all five senses, on a private estate near Bordeaux. Your team won't fall asleep during the icebreaker.
03
Annual Company Gatherings
End-of-year parties, company offsites, kick-offs, and milestone celebrations. Up to 300 guests under our 350 m² event marquee, with a heated pool, four jacuzzis, and a forest as the after-party. Your team finally celebrates without the open-space ceiling lights.
05
Press Days & Brand Activations
A photogenic estate with six distinct cinematic worlds, from Kubrick bubbles to Art Deco suites. Ideal for press launches, journalist breakfasts, influencer immersions, and brand activations. Your story finds its setting before you have to invent one.
02
Residential Training Seminars
Three modular event rooms from 75 to 350 m², up to 300 people. On-site catering by our chef. Six unique accommodations for residential groups up to 20 guests. Zero commute, full focus, and a sauna at the end of the day. Your training pays off when nobody wants to go home.
04
Leadership & Strategy Retreats
Step away from the office to think bigger. Private 5-hectare estate, three signature suites for executives, intimate working spaces, and complete privatisation. The kind of off-site where your strategy actually lands, because nobody is checking Slack.
06
Filming, Photoshoots & Content
A unique location library on a single estate: Belle Époque Riviera suite, Out of Africa lodge, Mongolian yurt, Art Deco Gatsby, transparent space bubbles, and 5 hectares of pinewood. Productions, fashion shoots, music videos, and brand content find their backdrop here.
Experiences That Make Your Event Unforgettable

Six reasons your team will remember this offsite.
Most corporate venues sell square meters. We sell what happens inside them.
01. Total privatisation, by default
The entire estate is yours, from arrival to departure. No other guests in the lobby, no overlap with another group in the next room, no sharing the pool with strangers. Your team, your music, your timing.
04. Activities that actually work
Forest escape game, drone racing, perfume creation, rum masterclass, sensory team building. Programmes designed by people who know that great team building looks nothing like team building.
02. Six universes, not rooms
Each accommodation is a different cinematic universe: a Kubrick bubble, an Out of Africa lodge, a Bohemian yurt, a Gatsby suite, a Riviera suite, a Paris 1900 garçonnière. Your team doesn't go to bed. They go somewhere.
05. Wellness without booking slots
Heated pool, four jacuzzis, barrel sauna, hammock forest. Access 24/7 throughout your stay. Not a Slack channel for booking the sauna.
03. A real chef when you want one
Bespoke gourmet menu by our chef, easy-going caterer, barbecue in the pines, picnic by the pool. We adapt to your event, not the other way around. Available on request.
06. One single number
A single person handles your event from first contact to the last departure. No commercial-ops-F&B-events ping-pong. Naf picks up. That's it.
Add the forest, the pool, and the silence. That's why this offsite ends up in onboarding stories.
