Coca-Cola is a leader in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, known for its strategic vision and commitment to flawless execution. Facing the high-stakes preparations for a major upcoming global sporting event, the Paris Olympic Games, the executive team required a powerful leadership summit to align their key personnel. Their specific, high-value goal was two-fold: to conduct a crucial strategic kick-off and intensive professional training. While simultaneously providing a private, relaxed environment necessary for team cohesion and deep recuperation.
They tasked Naboo with finding a seamless solution that could handle 70 executives needing high-quality single accommodations, extensive meeting facilities, and bespoke catering, all within a focused travel time of Paris. Naboo’s challenge was to deliver a logistically complex, perfectly orchestrated executive retreat that was anything but ordinary.
When it’s time to elevate strategic thinking and resilience, a mountain retreat offers the perfect escape from the everyday. The majestic landscapes provide a refreshing change of pace, allowing teams to focus entirely on future planning and goal-setting. Let Naboo help you find the ideal venue at high altitudes to elevate your next corporate retreat to new heights.
Huttopia Rambouille
The selection of Huttopia Rambouillet, or Le Domaine de Laurence, as it is locally known, was a strategic decision by Naboo's event experts, providing the ideal fusion of proximity, privacy, and premium facilities necessary for this high-profile client. Located less than 90 minutes from the heart of Paris, this venue offered a completely private, dedicated space for Coca-Cola’s 70 participants, ensuring total focus and confidentiality for their proprietary Olympic preparations.
This location was uniquely equipped to meet the complex logistical requirements. It provided 70 dedicated single-occupancy rooms across its premium cabins, a crucial demand for the senior team. Crucially, it featured a vast, dedicated plenary room for large-scale formations and strategic sessions, alongside four to five smaller, high-specification meeting rooms for breakout brainstorms and subcommittee work.
The flexible nature of the venue also allowed for innovative use of the ground-floor cabins as additional private brainstorming pods, perfectly accommodating the client’s requested brainstorm format. Huttopia Rambouillet was the perfect, high-quality choice to seamlessly meet the client's event goals, offering a secluded, natural environment for relaxation while maintaining professional standards for their intensive training sessions.
Coca-Cola delivers a succesfull kick-off
In the demanding world of global consumer goods and international events, a successful corporate kick-off requires more than just meeting space, it requires streamlined event management that removes all friction from the client experience. For Coca-Cola Europacific Partners France, Naboo’s partnership transformed their critical Olympic preparation summit into a flawless, high-impact success story.
The challenge lay in harmonizing intensive strategic training with essential team relaxation. Naboo’s expert team, led by Théophane de Marignan and Clémence Deschènes, meticulously managed every facet of the three-day executive retreat. Naboo secured the Huttopia Rambouillet venue exclusively for the team, guaranteeing the privacy and dedication required for their confidential strategic discussions.
The itinerary began with a smooth arrival and immediate immersion into the collaborative environment. The team moved seamlessly into a full day of group formations, utilizing the large plenary space and the bespoke breakout rooms that were pre-configured exactly to the client’s brainstorm specifications. The logistical mastery extended to accommodating the client’s request for delivering specialized COCA material for the event, with the venue layout confirmed and approved for easy delivery via transpalette.
Client satisfaction data confirms the success across the board. The catering, a key element for any high-value corporate event, was rated a perfect 5/5, with the client remarking on the quality:
"Very generous." and "The set up was convenient in terms of organization and on-site."
The venue itself, the core of the retreat experience, was lauded for its operational efficiency. Naboo's proactive approach extended to fulfilling a crucial last-minute request: priced transparently and agreed upon quickly, ensuring the celebratory element of the kick-off was perfectly delivered.
The overall outcome was a powerful blend of intense preparation and essential downtime, exactly matching the dual objective set by the client to "prepare and train for the Olympics, but also to relax." Naboo’s commitment to providing an end-to-end, zero-stress solution was the foundation of the event's success. The final feedback underscored the complete confidence instilled by Naboo’s execution:
"Super experience with Naboo, very attentive."
