Le Manoir des Décideurs
What if your strategic decisions took place beyond the usual walls?
A senior executive for over 20 years, I designed this manor as a sanctuary for your strategic decisions: a rare place, conceived by a peer, to decide differently.
Nestled in the heart of the Bugey region, in the Ain department of France, Le Manoir des Décideurs welcomes your executive committees, board meetings and strategic seminars in an exceptional setting, entirely privatized for your team.
Why hold your executive retreat at Le Manoir des Décideurs?
Looking to escape the usual setting?
Forget impersonal meeting rooms and standardized hotels. Le Manoir des Décideurs offers an authentic and inspiring environment that encourages perspective and strategic creativity. Here, your leadership teams focus on what matters: thinking, deliberating, deciding.
Is confidentiality paramount?
The manor is entirely privatized for each retreat. You are alone on site, with no overlap with other groups. Your discussions remain strictly confidential, in a setting conducive to sensitive strategic conversations.
Want to combine work and team cohesion?
Between work sessions, your teams can recharge by the private pool, enjoy a game of pétanque, or simply stroll through the private garden. Meals featuring regional Bugey produce — prepared by the owner for day events or by a private chef for residential stays — create precious informal moments for strengthening your leadership team's bonds.
