Tematis * Your DMC in France

We wish you the best for 2010: good health, happiness and success. 2009 has been a good year for us and we have had a lot of fun and pleasure in organising your events in France. We have toured France, from Lille in the North to Marseille in the South, going to Paris, Strasbourg, Brittany… the list in endless. What have we liked: all of them. We thouroughly enjoyed the wine making experience in Bordeaux, for a small group of financiers from London. We also very much enjoyed the fighter jet experience as well as going swimming with dolphins. We did parties, press meetings, product launches, and although all were quite stressful to organise, we are very pleased that each time, all went well.

So what are you going to do in 2010 ?

Well… contact us if you want some ideas.

There is nothing like discovering new places off the beaten track. This is what we recommend if you can, to enjoy a bit of France rarely seen, even by the French. Get in a 4×4, and drive through rugged terrain, through streams and rivers, up and down hills, in the mud, through forests… one of the best driving experiences you can do. One of our days out is the following, that can be organised for up to 50 people easily, including lunch either in an auberge or BBQ.

So Get in the dirt for one day. This 4×4 expedition is rich in sensation. Learn the various driving techniques to pass obstacles: ascent, descent, security wedging, banking, bridges crossing, but also mass transfer, search of roadholding, crossing pools of mud… The instructor is a professional and passionate who will know how to get the best out of you for this unique 4×4 driving day out.

There are many driving days out that can organised in France. Most are done on a circuit where you can push the cars and enjoy the smell of burnt tires. However, there are some other kind of driving days out, more civilized and that put participants in an entire different perspective towards supercars: we drive them on the roads. One of the easiest that we organize if from Paris to Deauville. We pick up some Ferraris, Lamborghinis and other exotic cars in the centre of Paris, and drive them to the exclusive resort of Deauville. There participants have a lunch at a gastronomic table before driving back to Paris, switching cars so that each can have the feeling of each supercar.

Other favourite French roads include driving from Cannes to Vence in Provence. The roads are small and winding, the lunch is excellent and the driving experience truly amazing. Driving around Bordeaux to St Emilion is also a nice day out where guests can have lunch at the Hostellerie de Plaisance, a 3 star Michelin restaurant.

In terms of cars, we work with the best companies. They deliver excellent and fully maintained cars, which is quite important when you have more than 400 bhp under the bonnet. The cars we usually pick up: Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lamborghini Murcielago, Maserati Gran Turismo, Audi R8, Porsche 911 turbo, Aston Martin DB9… Although we mostly do tours that last a day, we also organize weekend programs, especially in the Riviera and the South West, with full accommodation that match the standard of the cars.

France is known for its food… and its wine. And when speaking about wines, for most people, St Emilion is the sanctum sanctorum, the place where the best wine is made. Although this is exaggerated, St Emilion remains one of the best places to enjoy wines. This tiny village, famous the world over, offers a unique setting to discover, taste and appreciate wines. 

For corporate events and seminars, we organize wine tasting sessions with the best oenologists. Although all can be tailor made, here are some usual guidelines about how this works:

• You are welcomed by your oenologist
• Learn about the vineyards of Bordeaux and the various domains
• Learn of about wine assemblage
• Learn how to assess wines, visually and by smell
• Taste 3 different wines to put the course in practice
• At the end of the wine tasting session, receive a complete file with the key points of your wine course and you will also receive a bottle wine especially selected by your oenologist.

This experience is ideal if you are staying around Bordeaux and a trip to St Emilion makes a nice day out during working seminars. We also try – time permitting, to visit one or two chateaux to see in reality, how wine is made, aged, tested and bottled. Contact us to know more about this experience and how we can best assist you in organising your event.
