Your goals

  • Bring your team closer

  • Brainstorming as a team

  • Train your employees

The Domaine de la Commanderie de Ballan is the ideal place to strengthen team cohesion or boost your employees’ motivation to focus on a strategic project. And there are many ways to achieve that cohesion: a buffet dinner on the rooftop by the Domaine’s swimming pool with a wine-tasting event, a morning work session followed by a bike ride along the banks of the Loire, or even a hot air balloon flight overlooking the Châteaux de la Loire. Our sales teams will be able to guide and advise you on how to create original team-building activities to suit your participants. Whether you’re interested in lifestyle, sports or culture, we select our event partners carefully to ensure we offer you only the very best themes and business activities.

“It’s a long time since we’ve had such a great welcome for a seminar. The people are very attentive, the meals are absolutely delicious, and the facilities are fantastic. It’s a magical place. The bedrooms are large and have retained an “olde worlde” charm, yet with modern facilities. It was amazing to enjoy a Nordic bath with my colleagues as the sun went down! Thank you for your warm welcome!”

Cyril Ravassard, Avocats Associés Ravassard

A place to take a break from everyday life, get out of the usual routine to stimulate your creativity and come up new concepts, the Domaine de la Commanderie de Ballan is conducive to very productive brainstorming! Our private spaces inside the Château or in the houses around the Domaine provide a pleasant and stimulating working environment that will encourage your team to share ideas and be creative. A dream for team building or workshops.

“We wanted to take some time out in the peace and quiet to think about our new projects, to step away from the chaos of Paris. We felt relaxed as soon as we arrived at the Domaine: everything was calm, there were no cars and no noise… only the chirping of the birds! Mission more than accomplished !”

Christophe Batard, 2BDM Architectes

Training your employees during a seminar or study day is an important investment. However, your office is not always the best place for this important undertaking. Our venue, which is ideally located an hour by train or two hours by car from Paris, has everything you need for enjoyable and effective training.

“We wanted to meet in a private and exclusive place to take the time we needed to talk with our team. The two days we spent at the Commanderie de Ballan were perfect in all respects, and in line with our initial request. We were able to concentrate, train and even relax in the Orangerie, which was an absolutely magnificent room that I recommend to anyone who wants to do a seminar. I’d like to thank the whole team for their sense of service and hospitality. It’s rare these days and deserves pointing out!”

Maher Kassab, CEO of GALLILLEO BUSINESS CONSULTING

Fleurus Avocat tells us about their experience

Fleur Jourdan, Founder and Partner at Fleurus Avocats

We wanted to get my team together to work on the challenges we’ll have to face over the coming year, but also – and most importantly – to have a great time together. We asked Arnaud, the hotel manager, to organise our activities and he found us some bikes. We went for a wonderful ride on the banks of the Loire. Best of all, he arranged a hot air balloon flight for us over the Châteaux de la Loire: it was a unique and fantastic experience! I recommend this place to anyone looking to organise a seminar !
