Located in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, in the Vendée region, our 4-star campsite Bontempo Village La Yole offers a unique venue for your seminars: quality accommodation, a natural seaside environment, and facilities designed for meetings and team-building. The call of the ocean, the calm of a green setting, the sea breeze — all these elements give your team the opportunity to gather in a professional yet friendly atmosphere, far from the constraints of a traditional urban hotel.
In this article, we invite you to discover how to organise a professional event in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, which activities can be offered, and why this location is particularly well-suited to corporate seminars. We will also look at the types of events that can be hosted, the activities available, and why Saint-Jean-de-Monts is truly worth the visit.
Organising a seminar in Saint-Jean-de-Monts means choosing a setting that is both professional and rejuvenating. The campsite provides a fully equipped meeting room with a video projector, paperboard, Wi-Fi, and access to comfortable accommodation. This gives you everything you need for a smooth and productive meeting: from formal presentations to team discussions, all within an environment that encourages communication, conviviality and cohesion.
The setting is exceptional: just behind the seafront and its beautiful sandy beaches, on the edge of the Pays de Monts national forest. The sea air, the sound of the waves, the wooded landscape — all of this contributes to creating a moment that inspires reflection, innovation and a fresh perspective, far from the rigid walls of a classic hotel. It allows you to host a professional day, a team meeting or even a congress with a relaxed spirit, in a place that encourages you to step back and disconnect from daily stress.
Another organisational advantage is the wide range of packages available depending on your needs:
This flexibility allows you to organise anything from a half-day meeting to a two-day programme filled with work sessions, shared moments and activities. All our offers are detailed on our dedicated Saint-Jean-de-Monts seminars page!
Whether you are planning a one-day meeting or a full corporate retreat, our venue allows you to build a complete “turnkey” package. You begin with the rental of the meeting room for your work session. The space is fully equipped for optimal conditions: high-speed internet, projection system, paperboard, and coffee breaks.
On-site accommodation is also available: individual mobile homes and comfortable rooms. This greatly simplifies your planning, as everything takes place within the same estate: morning meeting, lunch on site, an afternoon activity or team debrief, a relaxed evening, and an optional overnight stay.
For lunch or dinner, the restaurant or bar-restaurant area of the campsite can welcome your group. Everything is designed so that the event takes place in a professional setting, yet pleasantly different from traditional venues. The goal is always the same: strengthening team bonds, creating genuine exchanges and building long-lasting cohesion.
The ideal format? A morning meeting, lunch under the trees, an afternoon activity (team-building, challenge, nature walk), a warm and friendly evening, and an overnight stay if desired. The next day, your group can resume work or return home. This blend of work and leisure makes the entire experience both productive and refreshing — a seminar with structure and purpose, but in a location filled with escape and novelty.
Introducing activities into your seminar is the key to transforming a simple meeting into a memorable experience for your team.
Seaside or nautical team-building workshops are particularly popular. Being so close to the sea and sharing new experiences together truly changes group dynamics. You can organise introductions to stand-up paddle, surfing, or even a boat excursion to nearby islands. Many of our corporate groups enjoy activities such as surf or paddle sessions, wine tastings in local vineyards, and coastal hikes. These activities allow participants to step out of the traditional meeting-room mindset and develop team spirit differently.
The nearby forest is also an excellent playground for hikes or orientation courses. You might organise a treasure hunt, a themed walk, or a mindful stroll that allows participants to connect, clear their heads and recharge before returning to work sessions. It’s a great way to combine gentle physical activity, informal exchanges and team cohesion.
A themed dinner at the campsite restaurant is another great option to extend the evening in a warm and friendly atmosphere. You can also host an evening programme such as a quiz night, karaoke, live music, or simply enjoy a drink at the bar-restaurant to unwind after a productive day.
Finally, don’t overlook the wellness facilities available at the campsite: an outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, and a spa within a large aquatic complex. These amenities allow participants to relax before or after meetings, offering a moment of reconnection and informal bonding.
The natural setting is a major asset. The nearby sea, the long stretches of sandy beaches, and the beautiful forest all help stimulate creativity, reduce stress and provide a calming environment. Our 4-star campsite is an ideal place to organise a seminar in an inspiring setting that encourages creativity and collaboration.
The centralisation of all spaces — accommodation, meeting room, activities and dining — offers strong logistical advantages. You don’t need to travel between multiple venues or hire transport: everything is within the same estate. This simplifies coordination, transitions and informal moments. Your team can focus on people, communication and engagement rather than practical constraints.
The venue is also far more welcoming and authentic than an impersonal congress centre. It gives your event a more human dimension: you enter a domain, enjoy a stay, share experiences. It creates a warm and positive atmosphere for your entire team.
Finally, experiencing these moments in a different environment reinforces team spirit. By changing scenery, sharing new activities and stepping out of the daily routine, you foster genuine interaction, informal conversations and meaningful bonds — all essential components of motivation and cohesion.
In Saint-Jean-de-Monts, you can organise a wide range of professional events: management meetings, training days, residential seminars, congresses, team-building sessions, association gatherings and internal company workshops. Our campsite offers packages suited to groups from 6 to 80 people. You can plan anything from a simple day of discussions to a two-day seminar with accommodation, or a larger event including activities and relaxation.
During your seminar, you can choose from many activities: surf or stand-up paddle introductions by the sea, hikes in the coastal forest, boat trips to nearby islands, wine or local product tastings, wellness moments at the pool or spa, themed dinners or organised evening entertainment. All these activities help combine work and relaxation while strengthening team cohesion — and they take full advantage of the exceptional setting.
Absolutely! With its vast beaches, wooded environment and soothing seaside atmosphere, Saint-Jean-de-Monts is a perfect destination for a seminar. The natural setting encourages inspiration, reflection and escape. Choosing a venue like ours rather than a highly urban hotel gives your event deeper meaning: a break from routine, a breath of fresh air, and a renewed focus on what truly matters. This not only improves productivity, but also turns your seminar into a memorable experience for your team.
