The destination
Rouen, an urban playground for your teams
Rouen has a feature that few Norman cities have: everything is played on foot. The cathedral, the Gros-Horloge, the Place du Vieux-Marché, the half-timbered lanes and the Seine quays fit within a few hundred metres. In practice, this means no shuttles between events, so more useful time for your teams and a reduced transport budget.
The city is also reachable in about 1h25 by direct train from Paris-Saint-Lazare (source: SNCF Connect, to be checked for your dates), which makes a cohesion day in Rouen with no overnight stay realistic for a team from the Paris region. Finally, the city’s dense heritage offers a setting for investigations and treasure trails that closed rooms cannot replace.

Sample programme
Sample cohesion day in Rouen
A typical programme for a team from the Paris region, with no overnight stay, to adapt to your objectives:
Arrival at Rouen-Rive Droite, coffee welcome and kick-off.
Urban rally or treasure hunt in the old town, in teams.
Lunch in a restaurant in the centre or in a private room.
Workshop of your choice (ceramics, cooking, escape game) or Olympics.
Debrief and prize-giving, optional cocktail workshop.
Return to Paris, or a cruise on the Seine if you extend into the evening.
Our role
We organise the day, not just the entertainment
That is the difference between booking an activity and entrusting an event. A booking platform finds you an escape game slot. A provider opens its walls to you. We take charge of the whole day:
All on a single quote: one purchase order to issue, one invoice to process, one number to call. No five suppliers to chase.
If your team building is part of a larger event with meeting rooms and accommodation, see our dedicated page on the seminar in Rouen.
- 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 Rouen-Rive Droite 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
Our positioning
A Normandy agency, for more than 20 years
We have worked in Normandy, and only in Normandy, for more than 20 years. That changes concrete things: we know the Rouen providers, we have tested them, and we know which ones can handle the load on a September Friday.
