The destination
Why Deauville for your team building
Three assets make Deauville a cohesion setting apart in Normandy.
A compact setting. The beach, the boardwalk, the town centre, the harbour and the racecourses are all within walking distance of one another: activities follow on without shuttles, which maximises the useful time of your day.
Direct access from Paris. About 2h10 by direct train from Paris-Saint-Lazare to Deauville-Trouville, A13 motorway for coaches. A one-day team building from Île-de-France is realistic. Source: SNCF Connect, to be checked for your dates.
A combination of beach and heritage. Few destinations let you alternate, in the same day, a challenge on the sand, a rally through the Belle Époque streets and an evening at the casino or in a privatised villa.
The catalogue
Team building activities on Deauville beach
Deauville beach, wide and nearly two kilometres long, hosts your outdoor team formats: beach olympics and challenge (team events on the sand), water challenge on stand-up paddles and sea kayaks, corporate regatta on sailing boats, sulky introduction by the water. We adapt every programme to the tide, the weather and your group size, always with a fallback solution. Sand yachting, one of our most requested activities, takes place on Trouville-sur-Mer beach, a few minutes away, with a transfer from Deauville.
Deauville Express, our signature urban rally
The Deauville Express is our proprietary activity: a lively urban rally, with teams equipped with smartphones, exploring the boardwalk, the villas, the harbour and the town’s landmarks through challenges, riddles and Normandy tastings.
The Normandy Challenge
Our signature activity: a team-cohesion challenge in the heart of Normandy’s terroir, with tastings, fun tests and local traditions.

Sample programme
Sample cohesion day in Deauville
A programme actually run for a group of 140 people, to adapt to your objectives:
Arrival by coach or train, coffee welcome on the boardwalk, launch of Deauville Express through the town’s streets.
Restaurant facing the sea or a privatised brunch.
Olympics on the beach, or an indoor murder party in case of rain, prize-giving.
Gala dinner, casino evening or a privatised villa before the return.
Our role
We organise the day, not just the entertainment
That is the difference between booking an activity and entrusting an event. A platform finds you a slot. A provider opens its walls to you. We take charge of the whole day:
All on a single quote: one purchase order, one invoice, one number to call.
If your team building is part of a larger event with rooms and accommodation, see our dedicated page on the seminar in Deauville.
- The activity and its hosts, sized to your numbers and objectives
- The venue, including its privatisation when necessary
- Lunch and coffee break, with management of dietary requirements and allergies
- Transfers from Deauville-Trouville station or from your head office
- The evening and its entertainment, if you extend
- A dedicated project manager on site on the day, and a fallback plan if the weather turns
