What if we stopped choosing between performance and pleasure?
Organizing a seminar is no longer about ticking a box on the HR schedule: it’s about creating a real break to bond, inspire and boost.
But when we say “vacation village”, some people raise an eyebrow… and others already have their glass!
So, between clichés and real underlying trends, we sort it out in this article.
Spoiler: the background is more professional than it seems.
A seminar in a vacation village in 2025 means :
-
A natural setting to get your head out of the Excel spreadsheets. (Spoiler: the sea, mountains or forests boost inspiration).
-
Top-notch facilities: fully-equipped meeting rooms, working wifi, and even coffee breaks that no longer feel like a punishment.
-
A true disconnection/reconnection: in Real Life, you can reconnect with your colleagues and re-boost your teams… without going through an escape game in an industrial zone.
-
All-in-one logistics: accommodation, catering, activities = zero stress for HR, 100% relaxation for teams.
3 misconceptions about seminars in a holiday village!
A seminar that looks like a summer camp?
The risk of “vacation camp” syndrome if the organization lacks finesse. Andseminar organization has been at the heart of our business for over 20 years at Domaine du Lazaret.
Our team, led by Fatou, will support you at every stage of the organization of your seminar in our vacation village: transfers, accommodation, catering, recommendations for activities on site or with our nearby partners… Dear organizers, you too will FINALLY be able to enjoy your seminar!
Confusion between work and personal time?
A skilful balance of “professional time” and “personal time” guarantees the success of your seminar.
At Domaine du Lazaret, we master this balance perfectly. Our enchanting setting and privileged location facing the Lazaret beach in Sète are the perfect setting for a magical getaway. In just a few minutes on foot, you’ll go from your feet in the meeting room to your “feet in the sand”… No transport, no special logistics.
The time wasted in travel will be concentrated to offer you the best from a single location!
Convincing the eternally dissatisfied?
We can’t please everyone, and so much the better!
Some people will prefer the rooftops of Paris to hiking in the garrigue or on the beach at Le Lazaret (we embrace them).
In order to satisfy as many people as possible, our establishment is easily accessible by train from France’s largest cities, allowing city dwellers to reconnect with urban pollution in just a few hours after a getaway combining work & relaxation at Le Domaine du Lazaret!
A seminar that bucked the trend!
Neither has-been nor trendy, the vacation village seminar is the right compromise between professional efficiency and human reconnection.
And in a world where everything is accelerating, this is more than trendy: it’s visionary.
To all the professionals who have already visited us (and to those who are still hesitating): as you know, a good seminar is all about substance, not just form. And at Domaine du Lazaret, we have both.
With a sunset option as a bonus.
