Discover 5 nature-based team-building activities to organize in the Paris region for a green, inspiring and collaborative corporate seminar.
Get away from it all, breathe, reconnect... and work better together. Team building in the great outdoors is booming, particularly in the Paris region. At a time when quality of life at work and sustainability are at the heart of expectations, organizing a seminar in the great outdoors is becoming an idea for a company seminar that is as useful as it is unifying.
Less than an hour from Paris, there are plenty of opportunities to organize inspiring group activities in a natural, soothing setting. Here are 5 must-try team-building experiences you can do with The Oasis House.
Walking is an activity accessible to all, but when combined with mindfulness, it becomes a real tool for cohesion. In the Fontainebleau forest, the Gâtinais nature park or the Chevreuse valley, mountain guides and specialized coaches offer silent walking sessions, punctuated by breathing, listening and meditation exercises. Perfect for recharging mental batteries, this activity encourages concentration, inner calm and collective listening.
Involving employees in the creation of a shelter from elements found in nature is an excellent way of stimulating collective intelligence. This activity encourages cooperation, initiative and the sharing of roles, and is rooted in a sustainable approach. It's also a concrete metaphor for teamwork: building a solid structure together from simple resources.
For a gentle, useful and symbolic activity, invite your teams to take part in a gardening or permaculture workshop. This could involve creating a small vegetable garden, planting trees, or building an insect hotel. This ecological approach enables everyone to contribute to a common project, while discovering the basics of responsible agriculture and biodiversity. An ideal activity for ecologically aware companies or those committed to a sustainable development approach.
Incorporating an outdoor yoga or breathing session into a team-building program is an excellent way to promote relaxation, confidence and emotional balance. This practice can take place at sunrise in our La Prairie and La Source homes, on a lawn, beside a pond or in the middle of a forest. It offers a real moment of centering, while creating a sense of unity. It's also a way of showing your teams that their well-being is a priority, even during a professional event.
Cooking brings people together, inspires them and creates bonds. By organizing a plant-based or zero-waste culinary workshop outdoors, you enable your employees to cook together using local and seasonal produce, in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. This creative culinary experience can end with a shared outdoor meal, reinforcing the convivial and collaborative aspect of the experience.

Structures like The Oasis House, just an hour from Paris, offer tailor-made team-building stays in the heart of nature. Eco-designed accommodation, wellness workshops, professional guides, plant-based catering and green surroundings: everything is designed to offer a complete experience in line with your corporate values. We can organize a one-off event (one day) or an immersive one (2-3 days), depending on your objectives for cohesion or collective transformation.
A seminar in the great outdoors takes you away from traditional meeting spaces to a setting conducive to inspiration, serenity and authentic exchange. In the midst of nature, hierarchical barriers are broken down, words are set free and human relationships are strengthened. These moments leave a lasting impression on people's minds and contribute to a more balanced, human corporate culture.
Team building in the heart of nature is not just a trend, it's a direct response to the needs of today's companies: to reconnect, restore meaning and take care of their teams. The Paris region offers an incredible playground for these experiences, with forests, natural parks and committed places like The Oasis House. By choosing this type of activity, you're offering your employees much more than just a pleasant moment: you're offering them a real reconnection with themselves and with others.
