As a world leader in technology and innovation, Google UK Limited didn't just need a venue for a meeting, they sought a Study Day environment that was both hyper-productive and profoundly inspiring.
Their objective was precise: to host 50 senior participants for an intensive five-hour afternoon session dedicated to internal development and strategic planning. Crucially, the corporate gathering needed to transition seamlessly into an elegant, unforgettable Parisian experience. Google’s brand is synonymous with high-calibre excellence, innovation, and user experience, meaning they required an event partner who could guarantee flawless, high-touch execution in a truly unique setting. The venue and the experience itself had to reflect the exceptional quality associated with the Google name.

Bateau evasion Paris
The solution was the Bateau Evasion Paris, a high-end, purpose-built barge secured in the prestigious 16th arrondissement. Selected for its unique duality, the vessel redefined the corporate event space, offering a professional sanctuary combined with the spectacular charm of the Seine.
The barge is equipped with modular seminar rooms, state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi, ensuring that crucial presentations and connectivity were never compromised during the intensive five-hour session.
As the boat cruised the Seine, passing iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Musée d'Orsay, the static meeting was transformed. The panoramic spaces provided a constantly evolving, inspiring backdrop, fulfilling Google's need for a venue that fosters creative exchange and high-level networking. Its convenient location, less than 15 minutes from a major railway station, also streamlined executive logistics.
