The format where the team actually decides.

A contemporary timber house at 835 metres, yours alone. Your team of six to eight works, dines and sleeps here — no lobby, no other seminar next door, nothing to sort out on the ground.

La maison bois contemporaine Jura 835, à louer en entier pour un séminaire — Foncine-le-Bas, Haut-Jura
The working space

A seminar room that doesn’t look like one.

The living room runs fifty square metres under exposed trusses, with south light off the meadow — the opposite of a windowless hotel suite. The long table gathers the whole team; the fibre holds a video call for eight without a stutter. To break away: the study; to breathe: the terrace and the enclosed garden; for the real debrief: the fire, in the evening.

Indicative plan — dimensions not contractual

A day of the seminar

From the morning coffee to the evening fire.

9 am

The plenary

The whole team at the long table, the fibre for anyone joining by video. The day opens with no waiting room, no lanyard.

1 pm

The table

Lunch on the terrace or around the table — a resident chef if you asked for one, otherwise the kitchen is yours. No restaurant to book, no bill to split.

3 pm

The workshop, then the outdoors

The groups spread out — the study, the terrace, the enclosed garden. Then a walk to clear the ideas: the voie du Tram leaves from the village, the Langouette gorges are five minutes away.

8 pm

The fire

Dinner at one table, then the stove. It is there, with no agenda, that the day unwinds and the team really talks.

House or hotel

A seminar doesn’t end at six.

At a hotel the team scatters to its rooms and a bar full of strangers. Here the day carries on at the table, around one fire — where the things no workshop can prompt finally get said. The house is let whole, to one group: your team, nobody else.

Your contact

A person, not a desk.

The house belongs to Robin and Selene, two entrepreneurs, young parents and athletes, who had it built. It’s Robin who reads your request, calls you back within twenty-four hours, sets the format and stays reachable all week. One number, one invoice, nothing subcontracted.

Getting there

Far enough to switch off, near enough to come.

  • Geneva airport: 1 h 30 by car.
  • TGV Paris–Frasne: 2 h 20, then a 35–40 minute drive.
  • The Swiss border 35 minutes away — a team from Geneva and one from Switzerland meet the same evening.
  • Private transfer to the door, on request.
Organiser questions

What we’re asked before booking.

How many people can it hold?

The house sleeps six to eight: three bedrooms, a study with a sofa bed, two bathrooms, all on one level. The right size for a leadership team, a board or a founding team — not a hundred-seat conference.

Can we come for just two or three days, midweek?

Yes. The house is let by the week, Saturday to Saturday, but seminars are set with you: Monday to Friday, two or three nights, or bespoke. Tell us your dates and we’ll send a quote.

What’s there to work with — a screen, wifi?

The 1 Gbps fibre reaches every room, for your video calls. The long table and the walls of the living room make the workshop; audiovisual kit — a screen, a flip chart — is arranged with us ahead of time.

Are meals taken care of?

However you like: a private chef for some or all of the dinners, on request; or the fully equipped kitchen to self-cater. The village and its shops are five minutes away.

How does invoicing work?

One quote, one invoice for the whole house — never per participant. Fifty per cent on booking, the balance before arrival; the details are on the quote.

How far ahead should we book?

Write to us with your dates: Robin replies within twenty-four hours with a quote. One team at a time — booking early is the way to be sure of your week.

The quote

The whole house, from €4,200 a week.

The price is for the house, never per head. Shorter formats, bespoke seminars, specific dates: tell us yours. Robin replies within twenty-four hours with a clear quote.

A team that leaves a notch closer, and two or three decisions made for good: that is what a seminar here leaves behind.

Your seminar, in a few lines

Your dates, how many of you, a chef or not — tell us the essentials and we’ll set the rest together. Robin replies within 24 h with a clear quote.

Your details are used only to reply to you. They never leave the house.
