Le Sporting hosts seminars, meetings, team-building programs, company olympiads and parties for groups from 6 to 1,000 people. The venue combines a 3,000-square-meter sports hall, a seminar room, a covered terrace and two private game rooms, and its in-house agency designs and runs the activities. It stands at 3 Impasse du Bourrelier in Saint-Herblain, near the Atlantis shopping area on the western edge of Nantes.
Seminars and company events
The agency works for companies, networks and associations. A typical day pairs a morning meeting in the seminar room with an afternoon activity and a meal on site. The team-building catalog includes the Z Games, non-sporting olympiads for 16 to 400 people in sessions of 1.5 to 2 hours; sports olympiads for 16 to 150 people with ten sports to choose from; Le 6ème Sens, a sensory challenge for 16 to 200; and voice-recognition blind tests, karaoke and quizzes for 6 to 100. Other formats, such as escape games, a fort-style challenge, a Robinson challenge and Lego building contests, run for groups of 8 to 500 and can also be delivered away from the venue.
For large gatherings, the main hall takes up to 1,000 people theater-style or for a cocktail, and 200 in a U-shape or classroom layout. The agency can handle registrations and invitations for olympiads.

The seminar room covers 75 square meters and seats 30 in a U-shape or classroom layout or 70 theater-style, with 70 for a cocktail and a private terrace upstairs.
