The Normandy region of France has long been a destination of choice for families in search of a beachside location with historical and cultural attractions, as well as couples in search of a romantic getaway. However, meeting planners should not overlook this more pastoral region of France when seeking out European destinations for corporate events. There are a number of hotel venues appropriate for meetings and events, including various options that are close to the sea and sites of historical importance.
One example is the Normandy Barriere, which is located in Deauville and is connected to the Casino Barrier de Deauville. With the intriguing look of an Anglo-Norman manor and upscale boutiques and French designer shops in close proximity, this hotel overlooking the sea is an ideal location for corporate events. There are 290 guestrooms, each decorated with traditional fabrics and antiques, as well as a fitness center, sauna and an indoor pool. Writing desks and modem connections allow professionals to stay connected and prepare for presentations in the comfort of their rooms, while a business center and business services allow your attendees to conduct business with ease.
The Normandy Barriere features exhibit space, conference rooms, meeting rooms and banquet facilities, as well as audio-visual equipment and event catering. The hotel is just two hours from Paris, one hour from the historic landing beaches of World War II, one hour from the famous Mont St. Michel and just a few minutes from Honfleur, the inspiration for many world-famous 19th century paintings.
