Goodvest, a high-growth sustainability-focused financial company, recently sought to bring its team together for a focused Residential Seminar outside of Paris. The objective was to cultivate team cohesion and strategic alignment in an environment that felt both accessible and deeply removed from daily distractions. With 27 participants to consider, the search for a venue that could blend high-end professional facilities with natural charm was critical.
The event, led by Naboo's expert, Alix Fey, needed to be a high-impact, two-day escape. Goodvest’s requirement was a seamless experience: from premium transport and on-site activities to tailored catering and professional meeting spaces. By delegating all logistical complexities to Naboo, Goodvest was able to focus entirely on its core strategic goals. The result was a successful seminar that delivered on every expectation, proving that a demanding schedule can be effortlessly managed when supported by a streamlined event partner.
The successful planning of this corporate retreat demonstrates Naboo's ability to identify and secure unique, high-impact locations for companies aiming for strategic focus. Whether your team requires the prestige of an Executive Seminar or the rejuvenating setting of a Nature-Based Corporate Retreat, Naboo offers a curated platform to match your vision.

Le Domaine de la Butte Ronde
Le Domaine de la Butte Ronde is a distinguished, 42-hectare estate located in the heart of the Rambouillet forest, offering a blend of historic architecture and a profound sense of natural escape. The location, situated in the tranquil area of Vélizy-Villacoublay, Île-de-France, strikes a perfect balance, maintaining easy accessibility from Paris while providing the essential detachment required for deep professional focus. This tranquil setting was fundamental to the success of the Goodvest event.
For the 27 attendees, the venue provided an ideal mix of resources, including 44 bedrooms and a variety of functional meeting spaces. The essential logistical support was managed flawlessly, including dedicated round-trip shuttle transport to and from the nearest train station, a premium brunch buffet, and tailored activity programming. Specifically, the inclusion of both focused, high-energy Olympiades and Yoga sessions allowed for an optimal balance between team building and personal wellness.

Goodvest Delivers a strategic alignment through their corporate retreat
Naboo's commitment to delivering high-value, corporate retreats was perfectly demonstrated in the execution of the Goodvest seminar.

The client was delighted to experience this level of seamless service:
"Fluid organization, good contact, and responsiveness throughout the process. It was really comfortable not having to manage everything myself."
The success extended to the venue itself, which performed flawlessly. Le Domaine de la Butte Ronde exceeded all expectations, becoming a true haven for team building and appreciation. The atmosphere was exactly as requested, the activities were perfectly paced, and the team made the most of every space the beautiful venue offered, from the expansive exteriors to the relaxing spa and the dedicated party room. The seamless on-site support from the venue staff, including a special mention for the reactivity and dedicated care provided by Mélodie, ensured a consistently high-quality experience. The feedback from the participants confirmed the venue's ideal suitability:
"A real success, everyone left very happy! The atmosphere was spot-on, the activities were well-paced, and the collaborators truly appreciated the place, which was ideal for this type of event. We were able to make the most of all its spaces: the exterior, the spa, and the room for the evening."
The curated activity schedule, featuring an Olympiads team-building event and a relaxing Yoga session, was a highlight. The dynamic nature of the Olympiads was perfectly managed by the provider, 2ISD, who delivered a well-framed activity with super friendly, flexible, and attentive instructors. The participants were engaged, and the client highly recommends the experience, noting:
"Dynamic activity, very well supervised. Good adaptation to the group, the animators are super friendly, flexible, and attentive. We recommend it!"
Complementing this, the Yoga Nouvel Équilibre session provided the ideal counterpoint for relaxation and mindfulness. The small-group setting, calming ambiance, and excellent supervision ensured a truly restorative experience that left the participants entirely satisfied.
"Small group class, the participants were delighted. Very soothing atmosphere, good supervision."
Finally, the transportation solution, provided by H24 connect, was flawlessly executed, ensuring a stress-free start and end to the retreat. The organization was impeccable and perfectly on time. The driver's exceptional flexibility and willingness to accommodate the group by offering a direct drop-off in Paris, saving precious time for all attendees, demonstrated an added layer of high-value service. The client was quick to praise this seamless logistics experience:
"Impeccable organization, on time for the outward and return journey. The driver was very accommodating; on the return trip, he offered to drop everyone off directly in Paris, as it was also his route, instead of leaving them at Rambouillet station. This saved everyone precious time. Truly top-notch!"
The entire event was a testament to Naboo's ability to seamlessly integrate the perfect venue, high-quality catering, custom activities, and smooth logistics to deliver an event that not only met but significantly exceeded the client's high-value goals for team cohesion and appreciation. The client's intent to recommend Naboo and leave a glowing Google review is the ultimate confirmation of a perfect partnership and a successful annual seminar.
