Deloitte, a professional services firm known for its audit, consulting and advisory expertise, turned to Naboo to organize a Corporate Retreat for 32 people, the group sought a short, focused getaway designed to strengthen internal ties and create a relaxed yet productive atmosphere over two days on the coast or nearby countryside.
In their brief, the client described a compact overnight stay in July, with the possibility of accommodating up to forty guests and an equivalent number of rooms. They asked for a venue within reach of Lille and Rouen, ideally on the Côte d'Opale or a pleasant inland setting with easy access, where convivial meals with wine, simple but reliable Wi‑Fi and flexible workspaces would sit alongside outdoor activities. The programme needed to balance low-key social moments, an evening with a festive option close to town or on-site, with an afternoon of pétanque and a morning dedicated to team‑building, all delivered with a practical, convivial spirit and well-organized logistics.
Naboo answered by designing a tailored retreat that reconciled proximity constraints, varied activity zones and hybrid working requirements. The team secured a venue offering the right number of rooms and adaptable meeting spaces, coordinated plated breakfasts and lunches with wine and dinners in convivial settings, and programmed the pétanque afternoon and team‑building session to flow naturally between work and leisure. Attention to connectivity, clear timetabling for morning and afternoon work sessions, and the choice of an evening location with sound equipment ensured the client’s wish for a lively, convivial closing night was respected. Throughout, Naboo acted as a strategic partner, simplifying execution and aligning every detail with the client’s desire for a warm, well-managed retreat.
