Occitanie: Inspiring Innovation Among Castles and Vineyards

Let us plan your event in Occitanie

Welcome to Occitanie, a region that embodies the spirit of the South with a proud heritage flowing through its veins. This land is full of traditions, medieval heritage, and exceptional wines. Host your events in the grandeur of medieval castles, surrounded by lush vineyards and the stunning Mediterranean coastline. Let the historical charm, cultural richness, and natural splendor of Occitanie provide the perfect setting for your unforgettable corporate experiences.

Why Occitanie?

Dynamic Diversity: From the sun-drenched vineyards of the Languedoc to the mysterious Cathar castles perched in the Pyrenees, Occitanie offers a journey through landscapes as varied as the history they’ve witnessed. Imagine your team’s workshops in a medieval abbey or strategic sessions in a vineyard villa, where the spirit of the past fuels innovative thinking.

Quirky Insight: In Occitanie, even the stones speak—if you know how to listen. The walls of Carcassonne tell tales of sieges and surrenders, while the local wines whisper of the sun and soil that nurtured them. It’s a region where a conference can be as refreshing as a glass of crisp, local rosé on a summer evening.

Exclusive Venues & Historical Havens

Featured Venues: Host your meetings in the art-filled halls of a refurbished château, or consider a secluded manor where the views of undulating hills and sprawling vineyards inspire bold ideas and big decisions.

Hidden Gems: Why not arrange a breakout session in the shadow of the towering Pic de Bugarach, or a team-building retreat within the stone walls of a historic Cathar fortress?

Tailored Itineraries

Sample Itinerary:

Day One: Arrive and unwind with a private tour of Toulouse’s historic sites, including the Basilica of Saint-Sernin and the Capitole de Toulouse. Enjoy a welcome dinner in a beautifully restored medieval fortress, offering a unique and immersive dining experience.

Day Two: Begin with a morning brainstorming session in a meeting room at a charming countryside chateau. In the afternoon, explore awe-inspiring castles, combining historical insight with strategic discussions.

Day Three: Conclude your retreat with an exclusive dinner in a vineyard. Celebrate your team’s achievements with local specialties and the finest Occitan wines, in an intimate and elegant setting surrounded by the picturesque landscape.

Unique Activities: Enhance your corporate networking with a hike along the Cathar trail, offering both team-building and scenic views. Alternatively, choose a vineyard bike tour that ends with a private wine tasting session, showcasing the region’s celebrated vintages. For a unique touch, consider a hot air balloon ride over the stunning Occitanie landscape, providing a memorable and inspiring experience for your team.

Culinary Delights & Artistic Inspirations

Gastronomic Tours: Elevate your corporate retreat with a culinary tour that blends the best of Catalan and Provencal traditions. Experience the flavors of Occitanie, from fresh coastal seafood to hearty inland cassoulets. Savor dishes like “canard aux pêches” (duck with peaches), “boles de Picolat” (Catalan meatballs), and the renowned “crème catalane.” In Languedoc, indulge in the iconic “Cassoulet,” a slow-cooked dish of white beans and meat. Each dish pairs perfectly with the region’s robust wines, offering a rich and memorable dining experience for your team.

Artistic Legacy: Explore the artistic havens that attracted legends like Matisse and Picasso. Offer your team an exclusive workshop in Collioure, where the light and sea have inspired masterpieces for generations.
