Frequently asked questions

Which team building activity is the most inclusive?

Those that require neither physical fitness nor any particular skill: pétanque, cooking classes, tastings, creative workshops, an urban rally on foot. Avoid thrill sports if the group is mixed.

How much does a team building activity cost?

In Provence, published prices range from around €15 per person for a visit (Cosquer cave at €15 incl. VAT for groups) to €70-100 for a led activity (pétanque and apéritif at €71 incl. VAT, nature and painting at €99 incl. VAT in Aix) and €90 to €150 for a cooking class. Prices checked on 11 November 2026.

How long should a team building activity last?

Between 90 minutes and half a day during a seminar. Any longer and the activity eats into working time, or fatigue sets in.
