Why Bordeaux for business travel?
With high‑speed rail, an international airport and UNESCO landscapes, Bordeaux makes impactful events easy. Châteaux provide inspiring venues that foster focus and high‑quality networking—far from standard conference rooms.
Your Saint‑Émilion base: Château La Fleur de Boüard
Just 10 minutes from Libourne and 40 from Bordeaux, the estate offers:
- The Cuvier Emile Peynaud (~230 m²) flooded with daylight + a 240 m² panoramic terrace,
- The Chai du Plus (~40 m²) for board meetings and breakouts,
- Secure fibre Wi‑Fi, 4K projection with a 3×2 m screen and sound system,
- Private‑hire options tailored to your format.
Twelve suites, two lodges and a private Pavilion host your teams in the heart of the vines, extending conversations well after the plenary.
Work smarter together: proven formats
Alternate deep‑focus sessions with active breathing time to boost engagement and decision quality. For example:
- Morning: strategic plenary (90 min) + two 45‑min breakout rounds.
- Afternoon: immersive Cellar of Light tour followed by a guided tasting (2 wines).
- Optional: Alchemy blending workshop or Masterclass vertical tasting.
Bleisure, Bordeaux‑style: mix business with pleasure
Add convivial experiences that build cohesion without gimmicks:
- Sunset walk or e‑bike loop between Saint‑Émilion and Pomerol.
- Aperitif on the terrace with regional food‑and‑wine pairings.
- Free time in Saint‑Émilion: medieval lanes, monolithic church, specialty shops.
