Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should a sales kick-off in Paris be booked?
For a palace hotel with a reception and a dinner beneath the Eiffel Tower, we recommend four to six months ahead. Private spaces near the monument are limited, so the dinner is confirmed early, in writing.
What group size does this kick-off suit?
The programme is designed for 60 to 80 participants. The Eiffel Tower dinner accepts groups of 10 to 120, and the reception and festive dinner are sized for the same range, subject to confirmation.
What is included, and what can be customised?
The programme includes venue arrangements, the bike tour and pétanque challenge, the Eiffel Tower dinner and transfers. Menus, speakers and the working-session agenda can be adapted. Hotel nights and airfares are quoted separately.
