The family-run Cottage Bise offers high-end services and an ideal environment for a residential seminar: calm, nature, elegance, and perfectly organized logistics.

Fully equipped and flexible seminar rooms

Our seminar by Lake Annecy began in a bright room overlooking the gardens. The equipment was complete: screen, projector, flip chart, high-speed Wi-Fi, mineral water, and notepads for each participant.The spaces can accommodate from 10 to 130 people in meeting setups — a real advantage for both large companies and small teams.
Gourmet catering for your seminars
Lunch was served at the restaurant Les Terrasses, led by Chef Olivier Suire. The menu is crafted with local and seasonal products, ideal to offer participants a high-quality culinary experience.In the evening, our company dinner took the form of a private cocktail reception in a room with a lake view. The atmosphere was both professional and convivial.

The Boat Bar: an exceptional lakeside venue

Because a successful seminar also involves moments of conviviality, the Boat Bar at Cottage Bise is the perfect place to organize a special moment by Lake Annecy. This chic and relaxed outdoor bar, located directly on the water’s edge, offers a magical setting to unwind after a day of work.The venue can be fully privatized for up to 300 people, making it perfect for company aperitifs, welcome cocktails, or networking evenings with panoramic views.House cocktails, wines from Savoie, sharing platters… all in a warm, summery atmosphere that fosters exchange.
