Team Building activities tailored to your needs
Everything is possible! We’ll be happy to organise your Team Building outing down to the smallest detail!
Totem Odyssey
100% team building!
With this collective adventure, you're at the heart of teambuilding activities: teams compete against each other through a series of events combining reflection, skill and a touch of physical effort, over a half or full day.
A real challenge to be experienced together through a series of fun stages, for an extraordinary day of team-building and great memories!
The events have been designed to meet the diversity of profiles within a group: accessible to all, they enable all members of the group to participate. Starting with a half-day, you have the choice of events to best suit the objectives of your outing, making it more sporty or more leisurely.
In any case, on this activity the difference between the teams is created by the mutual aid and communication between the participants.
You're free to create the teams yourself, so that this team building event brings together some of your employees or departments who don't know each other very well. Or leave it to chance!

Outdoor Laser Game
A dynamic and competitive Team Building!
Are you looking for an activity that combines competition and fun in the great outdoors? The Laser Game could be the perfect option!
Create several teams and challenge each other in this activity combining skill and strategy.
There are several scenarios to choose from, and our entertainers will be able to advise you on the ones best suited to your wishes and the size of your group.
The games last around 30 minutes and to extend your teambuilding in the form of a complete dynamic challenge, you can create a sports tournament by mixing the Laser Game with other activities such as the Archery Game or Bubble Football.

Interactive rallies
An entertaining Team Building !
Set off as a team in search of small geolocated beacons! Each beacon you find will allow you to answer a knowledge question on the theme chosen at the start of your team building activity.
The aim of the game? To be the fastest team to find the markers and also the team with the most correct answers. Each member of your team has to observe and orientate themselves as best they can to find the markers, but it's also a test of their brainpower to find the best answers to the questions. You can choose one of these 3 themes at the start:
- The Disney Trail in the forest: it takes you back to your childhood memories!
- The Forest Adventure Film Trail: featuring the great adventure films of recent years.
- The forest's hidden treasures trail: a test of your knowledge of local flora and fauna
Bubble Foot
A stunning Team Building!
Are you looking for a fun activity for your employees?
Go for Bubble Foot, it's guaranteed to make you laugh!
Surrounded by your plastic bubble, you'll challenge your teammates to the various games proposed by our entertainers. From a soccer match to a revisited beret, the aim will always be to shake up your opponents by dabbing them.
To vary the pleasures and organize a multi-activity tournament for your Team Building, you can combine several activities by combining Bubble Foot with Laser Game Extérieur and Archery Game

All-terrain scooters
An original outing for your Team Building!
Would you like to offer your staff a totally different experience during a team-building event? Go for a ride on an all-terrain electric scooter!
You'll be able to immerse yourself in the rolling, wooded countryside around Fontdouce in an original way. And with our perfectly silent scooters, you can enjoy the scenery and the birdsong!
Our scooters are limited to 25 km/h, so you don't have to worry about safety! What's more, the routes have been designed to allow you to use little-travelled paths in complete safety.
And how do we get organised? The route is downloaded onto the phone of some participants using a QR code to be scanned: 2 or 3 scouts will be enough! We explain how the scooters work and let you familiarise yourself around the reception area. Once the whole group is ready, all you have to do is follow the itinerary. The unspoilt surroundings of Fontdouce are very pleasant and varied, and there are several themes to choose from:
- The vineyard trail: a 1-hour walk through the Cognac vineyards, along a flat trail suitable for beginners.
- Escapade between woods and valleys: a 1.5-hour walk between pretty views over the valleys and surrounding forest estates. A more sporting route with some great discoveries and a few thrills!
- The 13 fountains trail: a 2-hour walk around the small heritage sites of the Charente region, including wash-houses, fountains, ovens and small hamlets. The route is relatively flat and accessible to all.
Visit the abbey
A cultural Team Building!
If you'd like to offer your employees a cultural activity and give them a fascinating insight into their heritage, we strongly recommend that you opt for a guided tour of Fontdouce Abbey: it takes you on a journey through the history of a site founded over 900 years ago and bought back during the Revolution by local farmers whose descendants still own it. The team at the Abbey will be delighted to give you all the information you need about this site steeped in history. There are several types of visit, depending on the nature of your teambuilding activity:
- The simple guided tour
- A convivial guided tour (led by one of the owners and ending with an aperitif)
- The unusual guided tour (which takes you through all the little nooks and crannies of Fontdouce Abbey; a word of advice: bring waterproof boots!)
- A guided tour along the water (a trip up the Fontaine Douce to see the site through its natural surroundings).
Archery Games
Team Building with skill !
Show off your archery skills to the whole team!
With the Archery Game, you can challenge yourself to games of precision and speed. Several scenarios are proposed, allowing you to test your skill to reach your opponents safely, or to score maximum points by aiming at fixed targets. Our entertainers will guide you through your 30-minute game. You'll enjoy the exceptional natural setting of Fontdouce as you play together in the fresh air. So, is there a Robin Hood among you?
If you'd like to organize a real sports tournament as part of your teambuilding activities, we recommend combining the Archery Game with our other team activities, such as Bubble Foot or Laser Game Extérieur, Laughter and fun guaranteed!

Tree climbing
A memorable and rejuvenating Team Building!
To strengthen the bonds between your teams, what could be better than surpassing yourself together during a cohesive outing?
Accrobranche is the perfect activity if you want to offer an outing combining self-improvement and mutual assistance: faced with this type of challenge, your colleagues encourage and help each other to complete the various workshops on the high-altitude courses.
In Fontdouce, we offer 10 treetop courses for adults divided between the easiest at 2m in height and the most difficult at 15m: the easy courses allow your less comfortable colleagues to discover this activity in complete tranquility; those looking for a few thrills can try their hand on our 4 intermediate courses while the more experienced will set off on the most difficult and highest courses!
This is the perfect opportunity to encourage mutual aid and strengthen ties. And to finish your team building outing, we give you free access to our two giant zip lines of 200 meters each. Your employees will remember this moment for the rest of their lives!

The Conspiracy
The Conspiracy: an immersive and unifying team-building activity
The Conspiracy is an original team building activity designed to strengthen team cohesion, communication and collective intelligence. This immersive role-playing game plunges employees into a playful experience where cooperation, analysis, and strategy are essential for success.
During this team building activity, each participant receives a secret role and must fully participate in the group challenges. The Conspiracy naturally promotes exchanges, group decision-making and observation of team dynamics. Accessible to all, this corporate team building requires no particular physical condition and allows each profile to find its place.
Ideal for team building in Charente-Maritime, Le Complot fits perfectly into a day of team building at the Fontdouce Adventure Park, in a natural setting conducive to disconnecting and sharing.
Outdoor Escape Game
A cerebral Team Building!
Try to solve the mysterious events that took place at Fontdouce Abbey with our outdoor Escape Game!
As you make your way through the Abbey's interior and exterior spaces, you move from one enigma to the next, advancing your investigation. Each member of the team must use his or her powers of observation and reflection to find the right solution and unravel forever the mystery that has hung over Fontdouce for hundreds of years.
Depending on the size of your team-building, two Escape Games are available:
- Our 2-hour Escape Game is suitable for groups of up to 15 people: a single team is formed, allowing everyone to share the same experience to strengthen cohesion and communication between everyone.
- Our one-hour Escape Game is suitable for larger groups of up to 40 people. Several teams can play simultaneously to try and be the first to unravel the mystery of Fontdouce.

Frequently asked questions about our team building offers
How many people can you accommodate for a Team Building day at Fontdouce?
At Fontdouce, the wide range of activities offered allows us to welcome groups of all sizes. What will be decisive are your choices in terms of activities and services you expect. In any case, by mixing our 12 activities, we are able to accommodate very large groups of nearly 200 people, allowing all participants to be occupied throughout the day with Teambuilding activities that suit them.
I have different profiles in my company, some of whom aren't very sporty. Do you have any activities that are suitable for all ages and physical conditions?
Yes, at Fontdouce, we have team-building activities for all types of groups. From sports-based team building to cultural outings, everyone can find the perfect activity. Some activities, like the Fontdouce Totem Odyssey, have been specifically designed to meet the needs of businesses and the diverse profiles within professional teams. The activities are adaptable and accessible to all. Participants are welcome to step aside for five minutes if a challenge seems too difficult.
If it rains during my Team Building event, do you have a plan B?
Yes, in the event of rain during your Team Building outing, we inevitably have a plan B. If you’ve booked a meal in the forest and a storm is forecast, we’ll set up lunch in one of the rooms at the Abbey. As far as the activities are concerned, some of them can easily be done in light rain. In the event of a storm, however, we’ll opt for an activity within the walls of Fontdouce Abbey. If the weather is really catastrophic just before your event, we’ll be happy to listen if you prefer to cancel or postpone it. We have reliable weather applications and will also be able to advise you.
What days and times can you welcome professional groups?
We can welcome companies for a seminar or team-building event any day of the year, and we can adapt our timetables to suit your program. Read our article “how to organize a Team Building day in Fontdouce” for more information.

DupréI consulted my office colleagues and they were all unanimous in saying that we had an excellent time. It was very convivial and very friendly. I thought the meeting room and the dining room were really beautiful. There was nothing to say about the organisation or the activity either. I’d like to thank you for everything and some of my colleagues will certainly be back with their children. Thank you for everything!
