The venue is beautiful, such a calm, serene place to hold a marketing workshop. There was lots of natural light and plenty of space for 20 people to move around. Solène and her colleagues were extremely helpful.
There weren't enough cups and cutlery for 20 people in the kitchen, we had to grab some from the cafe. Otherwise all good.
