La Guinguette des Copains can be privately hired for seminars, group meals and parties of up to 200 guests at a cocktail or 100 seated. The restaurant is part of Kaze Océan, a three-star residence hotel at 42 avenue de l'Océan in Lège-Cap-Ferret, on the Cap Ferret peninsula between the Bassin d'Arcachon and the Atlantic coast of Gironde.
Seminars and company events
The residence sells a combined offer for groups and seminars: a working room, meals at the guinguette and apartments on the same plot, so a team can work, eat and sleep without moving. Basic office needs are covered as standard, with a connected TV, an A3 and A4 photocopier, stationery and filtered mineral water. A connected screen with Chromecast and AirPlay and a wireless microphone are available on request, and high-speed fiber runs through the whole residence. A bar and a lounge with a fireplace give the group somewhere to gather between sessions or after dinner. Cocktails and drinks are served à la carte. The residence publishes a groups and seminars brochure.
Rooms and capacities
The indoor restaurant measures 58 m² and takes 200 guests for a cocktail or 100 at tables. Outside, the guinguette itself covers 54 m², and a patio of 70 m², not counting its natural swimming pool, can host a drinks reception or an informal lunch in good weather. The website gives no seated capacity for the two outdoor areas. The bar and the fireplace lounge add informal space inside.
Accommodation
Kaze Océan has 10 apartments on site: four with two rooms, three with three rooms and three with four rooms. Each has an equipped kitchen, a coffee machine, still and sparkling filtered water, a lounge and a terrace, garden or balcony. The total number of beds is not published, so the sleeping capacity for a residential seminar should be confirmed with the residence.
Catering
The kitchen cooks local, family-style food with a Réunion island accent, using seasonal produce and short supply chains. Typical dishes include rougail with smoked sausage, chicken cari, the house mussels and grilled tricandilles, with chili paste served on request. For regular service, lunch runs from Wednesday to Sunday and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, and the restaurant opens on public holidays. Group menus are set with the team.
History and setting
The plot has been a gathering place since 1953, first for ice cream and then for dancing. A nightclub, Le Centaure, opened there in 1983 and later traded as Green Mango, Lagoon and Galaxie, before becoming the Six Club from 2008. After the club closed and was demolished, a summer guinguette opened in 2021 and stayed. The current Kaze Océan residence was built on the site with ecological goals in mind.
Getting there
The address is on avenue de l'Océan in Cap Ferret. Bordeaux-Mérignac is the nearest international airport, about an hour and a half away by road. In season, boats cross the Bassin from Arcachon, which is linked to Bordeaux by train.
