Olympic Games in Paris

Sports Team Building in Paris

The Olympics are a classic in sports-based team building, reimagined to suit all companies and all skill levels.

 

Divided into teams, each team competes in a series of physical challenges: sack races, relays, tug-of-war, obstacle courses, archery, and even inflatable sumo wrestling matches. 

 

Each event focuses on different skills, so that all your coworkers can shine at one point or another, regardless of their physical condition.

 

The event can take place outdoors, in a Parisian park such as the Bois de Boulogne, or indoors, depending on the weather. The challenges generally last between 2 and 3 hours and are led by a team of coaches who set the pace for the day and present medals to the winners.

 

The format is simple but effective, because there's nothing like a healthy dose of friendly competition to bring a team together.

Kho-ésion (Kho-lanta)

If you want to live like an adventurer for a day, then head to Kho-ésion ! In this athletic team-building event inspired by the famous TV show Koh-Lanta, each team becomes a real tribe.

 

Participants compete in challenges on land and in water, each of which requires them to combine strategic thinking, physical strength, and the determination to push their limits: obstacle courses, the pole challenge, tug-of-war, building a totem pole… 

You'll be able to choose your team captains and figure out the best strategy to win.

 

The experience can take place in the great outdoors, in a private park, or even in a completely recreated tropical setting—for a complete change of scenery without leaving the capital.

 

Much more than just a competition, Kho-ésion is, above all, an extraordinary experience that teaches you how to communicate, organize, and support one another—the very values of the show, applied to your team.

 

The little arrows

Want to challenge your coworkers in a different way? The bars  Les Petites Flèches is reinventing darts to turn it into a sporty team-building activity accessible to everyone, from beginners to experienced players.

 

Thanks to recognition cameras that automatically tally the points, you can play up to 12 different mini-games in a row without ever having to worry about keeping score. The concept is simple: to put everyone on an equal footing, regardless of their skill level.

 

Whether you’re playing as a team or in a competition, the atmosphere is always friendly and fun. To make the experience last longer, different food and drink options are available depending on the bar you choose: house cocktails, craft beers, sharing platters, or house-made fries.

 

Stop by one of the chain’s three bars—in Pigalle, Strasbourg-Saint-Denis, or Parmentier.

Introduction to Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is increasingly becoming a popular team-building activity that emphasizes cooperation rather than pure competition.

 

At the Triangle, there’s no opponent to face other than the wall itself. The activity is suitable for all skill levels, including complete beginners. A certified instructor supervises each session so you can progress safely and at your own pace. 

 

Rock climbing is a natural way to foster communication, trust, and teamwork among coworkers.

 

You can choose from a variety of options: a basic introductory session, a team climbing competition with a final podium, or a combined package that includes a cocktail reception and a blind taste test to extend the evening.

 

So give it a try—push yourself to new heights while strengthening the bond with your team! 

 

City Express

Want to help your teams rediscover Paris while putting them to the test? City Express is an urban sports team-building activity that transforms the streets of the capital into a giant playground.

 

Inspired by TV scavenger hunts, the concept combines keen observation, speed, and teamwork. With puzzles to solve, challenges to tackle, and clues to decipher along the way, each team moves at its own pace through downtown, passing by iconic landmarks and little-known side streets.

 

The format is suitable for all groups, ranging from 10 to several hundred participants, and typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours, led by facilitators who monitor each team’s progress.

 

Only the closest-knit teams will emerge victorious: enough to turn a simple stroll through Paris into a truly memorable experience.
