Budget
On quotation, according to group size and season
Indicative component prices from the activity files and restaurant listing, excluding VAT: sustainable world tour team quest from 70 € per person; private dinner cruise on the Seine from 150 € per person, with pre-cruise drinks and transfers quoted separately; lunch at Alcazar from 68 € per person depending on the format, subject to availability. Venue hire at the Neoclassical Gala Hall and La Palmeraie, hotel nights and coach transfers are quoted on request. The seated capacity of the gala hall is lower than the group, so the reception there is set as a standing event.
Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should a business convention in Paris be booked?
We recommend four to six months ahead for 120 to 160 participants, with the gala hall and the dinner cruise confirmed first. Autumn and spring trade-fair periods need more time.
What group size does this convention suit?
The programme is designed for 120 to 160 participants. The dinner cruise and the team quest both accept groups in that range; the gala hall takes the reception as a standing event, subject to confirmation.
What is included, and what can be customised?
The programme includes venue arrangements, the team quest, coach transfers and the dinner format. Agenda, speakers and menus can be adapted. Airfares and hotel nights are quoted separately.
