Leaving the office also means providing your teams with a new environment in which to work and collaborate.

Located just a few kilometers from Sarlat, Rochebois offers a one-stop solution for all aspects of a residential seminar in the Dordogne: meetings, lodging, meals, and social gatherings.

The Domaine’s venues can accommodate various types of business events, from small meetings to larger gatherings. This allows the schedule to adapt throughout the day without requiring frequent travel between locations.

But choosing the Périgord Noir for your seminar also means enjoying a destination rich in heritage, history, and shared experiences. It’s another way to approach team building, beyond traditional activities.

The Périgord: The Perfect Setting for Your Team-Building Event

Since a successful seminar is built not only inside meeting rooms, take advantage of your visit to Rochebois to introduce your employees to some of the iconic sites of the Périgord Noir.

Delve into the history of the castles of the Périgord

Just a few kilometers from Rochebois, the castles overlooking the Dordogne Valley offer a true journey back in time.

Castelnaud, Beynac, Les Milandes… all iconic destinations to include in a seminar itinerary to offer teams a break filled with history, cultural heritage, and panoramic views of the valley.

After a morning of work, a tour of a castle offers a complete change of scenery and a chance to share a cultural experience with your colleagues.

It’s also a way to fully enjoy the destination when organizing a seminar near Sarlat, without necessarily planning a sports activity.

Discover Sarlat in a Different Way

Located near the estate, it’s hard to imagine a trip to the Périgord Noir without making a detour to Sarlat-la-Canéda.

Medieval alleyways, mansions, light-colored stone facades, and bustling squares provide the perfect backdrop for a few hours of exploration as a group.

Whether it’s a guided tour, a stroll through the historic center, or simply some free time with colleagues, Sarlat offers a break that’s easy to fit in between the main events of a seminar in the Dordogne.

It’s also an opportunity to step away from the workplace for a few hours and make more room for informal conversations.

What if your team-building event started right here in Rochebois?

You don't have to leave the estate to create a truly bonding experience.

Lead the investigation at a Murder Party

For one evening, Rochebois takes on a whole new atmosphere.

A mystery to solve, clues to decipher, theories to test… Divided into teams, employees draw on their powers of observation, communication skills, and team spirit to try to separate fact from fiction.

Held right on the estate, the Murder Party makes it easy to incorporate a team-building activity into the schedule without requiring any additional travel that day.

A fun and immersive experience that, above all, offers a different way to socialize after meetings—and a few more topics of conversation over dinner.

The organization and details of the activity will depend on availability and the event setup.
