Lyon & the Rhone Valley: Strategic Success in a Culinary Capital

Let us plan your event in Lyon

Welcome to Lyon & the Rhone Valley, where every sip and sight tells a story of culinary mastery and viticultural legend. Here, corporate retreats transform into sensory journeys through time and taste, immersing you in the richness of France’s true epicurean heart. Imagine blending strategic meetings with gourmet dining experiences and wine tastings in one of the world’s culinary capitals. Let the historical charm and gastronomic excellence of this region elevate your corporate events to unforgettable heights.

Why Lyon?

Cultural and Culinary Hub: Strategize among the ancient ruins of Roman Gaul, dine in secret passageways where silk traders once roamed, and wrap up your day with a private wine tasting in a vineyard that overlooks Lyon’s twinkling lights. This region merges the art of fine living with the precision of history.

Quirky Insight: In Lyon, even the rivers—Rhône and Saône—converge in a harmonious flow, much like the region’s blend of history and modernity. It’s said that local chefs can create a feast as effortlessly as the sommeliers breathe life into a forgotten barrel!

Exclusive Venues & Luxurious Escapes

Featured Venues: Imagine holding your next corporate meeting in a Renaissance palace or a modernist masterpiece by Tony Garnier. Or perhaps a strategic session in a château surrounded by vineyards, where the break room features a tasting of the Rhone’s finest vintages.

Hidden Gems: Discover Lyon’s traboules, hidden passageways that offer a secretive route through the city’s history, perfect for exclusive team-building scavenger hunts or an unusual historical tour.
