CORPORATE
We organize a unique moment for your employees during your company meetings in Paris: a cultural and sporting visit
A memorable moment for your teams.
You are planning a seminar, a meeting, participation in a conference, a convention, an annual stay for your employees or any other corporate event in Paris. A running tour of Paris is ideal to federate a group, build team spirit, relax participants before the start or at the end of meetings, help build a network or even share a fun moment with clients or partners, “break the ice” and also to have the opportunity to visit the city simply (and not see only meeting rooms or the city only from a taxi).
We can create with you the ideal tour according to your wishes and constraints. It can for example be an early morning tour before the working day. We study all this with you and offer you a quote based on your wishes, possibilities and our established experience of “corporate” tours.

Some examples of our creations:
