Only one team will return to the office with the medal, and believe us, you’ll be hearing about it for a long time to come! To win, you’ll have to face a series of challenges, each one funnier than the last. But what will really make the difference is the bonds created between each teammate! Was this your dream? We made it happen!
Fancy a slightly more relaxed team-building activity?
Not keen on the challenges of L’Odyssée du Totem? Don’t worry, we have some more relaxed activities to offer. If you want to enjoy our beautiful outdoor spaces in fine weather, we highly recommend our digital rallies. You will be divided into several teams and will have to work together to find geolocated markers throughout the site while testing your general knowledge! This activity is ideal if you want to offer your teams a fun outing while motivating them with a common goal: victory! Fontdouce Abbey also offers Escape Games to get your brains working as a team. Get ready to step into the shoes of Sherlock Holmes in a place steeped in history!
After exertion, comfort!
It’s now time for lunch! There are several dining options available to you.
Our catering partners will organize a memorable meal for you in the majestic Fontdouce Abbey. Anything is possible, from a cocktail lunch to a six-course sit-down meal; you can choose the type of service and the menu for your lunch. In the park, the team will also delight your taste buds with a simpler but equally welcoming meal. You will have lunch in the middle of the forest in our eco-designed nature lounge. Whatever you choose, this change of scenery is sure to do you a world of good!
