Corporate seminar in Le Mans: a whole house for 10 to 20 people
Organising a seminar for 10 to 20 people in Le Mans: 9 bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, 11 guests without sharing a bed, a 16-to-20-seat table, HDMI screen, team-building at Bugatti Circuit. 2-day programme and budget.
Organising a company retreat is about finding the right balance between productivity and team bonding. Le Mans is an ideal destination: one hour by TGV from Paris (55 min), close to the legendary Bugatti Circuit for adrenaline-fuelled team building, and offering accommodation where your team can live the experience together. Here's why our coliving is a strategic choice for your next seminar.

Our house: accommodation built for a team of 10 to 20
11 people housed without anyone sharing a bed
The house has 9 private suites, each with its own bathroom, desk and individual key: up to 9 participants, nobody shares their bedroom or their en-suite shower room. Beyond that, in seminar configuration, that means 7 single-occupancy bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms — the latter have a double bed and a single sofa bed, so nobody shares a bed. That is 11 participants housed, and up to 20 sleeping places if the group is happy to share the double beds.
Unlike a hotel, there is no hierarchy between rooms: everyone is on equal footing, with their own bathroom. A hotel twin never gives you that.
Modular workspaces
Your home adapts to your needs:
- Kitchen and its big table: the most beautiful room in the house, and the real workspace. The table seats 16 people, and 20 by pulling up the two high bistro tables from the sunroom — perfect for a plenary, a design sprint, a strategic breakfast or a working lunch. The whole group works seated indoors, heated, all year round.
- Living room: heated year-round, with a large smart TV and an HDMI input — everyone plugs in their laptop for a presentation or a debrief. It is also the room for informal discussions and co-working sessions.
- Zen space: calm, bright room for brainstorms and small-group workshops, April to October — it is unheated, so it does not replace the big table in winter.
- Enclosed 90 m² south-facing garden: the large tables seat 20 people in the warm season, for lunch or working in the sun from April to September.
- Sunroom: extends the living room and kitchen, with two high bistro tables for side conversations in twos or fours, a coffee corner and an aperitif corner to catch your breath between sessions.
- Private bedrooms: everyone can retreat for a client call, quiet writing or a movie on the smart TV to decompress.
We do not provide meeting equipment: no flipchart, no whiteboard, no video projector. The living room does however have a large smart TV with an HDMI input, which replaces the projector for most presentations.
High-speed Wi-Fi
High-speed Wi-Fi throughout the house, for seamless video calls, uploads or file sharing.
Gym + zen space = recovery
Seminars are intense. A morning cardio session or a mindful break between workshops makes all the difference for productivity. Everything is on-site, no need to find a gym in town.

Budget and logistics
Indicative accommodation rate
Whole-house rental for a team of 10 to 12, 2 nights: ~€150-250/night/person depending on season (excl. circuit activities and catering). Compare that with 10 equivalent 3-4★ hotel rooms, on top of which you still have to rent a meeting room — here the workspace comes with the house.
Services for professionals
- Professional invoice on request (LMNP-compatible, no VAT)
- Bank transfer payment accepted
- Self check-in from 5 pm with smart lock, or early check-in from 9.30 am subject to availability (perfect to kick off the seminar right off the TGV)
- WhatsApp contact 7 days a week for any specific request
Local providers to complete your stay
We do not organise these services ourselves, but local professionals can handle them directly:
- Local caterers for on-site meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
- Taxis for station/circuit/house transfers
- Team-building activity providers (karting, simulators, EVA…)
Why choose this over a traditional seminar hotel?
- Total privacy: you're alone in the house, no other guests — strategic discussions stay confidential.
- Controlled budget: fixed price for the whole house, no hotel surprises (mini-bar, paid Wi-Fi, billed meeting rooms).
- "Away from the office" atmosphere: quiet residential setting, away from office routine, to encourage creativity and stepping back.
- Stronger bonding: dinner together, breakfasts in the kitchen, informal moments that build far more connection than a banquet hall dinner.
- Schedule flexibility: no 10 pm room service knocks, no fixed breakfast slot — everyone at their own pace.
