A seminar in Dijon truly worth telling about when you get back

Nine people gathered for a culinary workshop. Salt & Pepper Dijon, discussion and teamwork with computers and folders.

A day between collective work and Team moment who really makes a difference

Organizing a seminar in Dijon is choosing an atmosphere.

Your collaborators come for a day, sometimes two or three, away from the headquarters. They expect a place that makes an impression, spaces that are different from the office, and an experience that makes the seminar memorable well beyond the agenda.

Salt & Pepper was designed for exactly that.

In the heart of Dijon, a stone's throw from Place de la République, our hybrid venue is housed in a historic building. It was formerly a mustard factory in the 17th century, then a car repair shop between 1950 and 2018, and has since been completely renovated.

We offer you 4 modular spaces that cover all formats: an intimate Meeting Room for strategic sessions, a Creative Lounge to encourage open discussion and stimulate ideas, a Cooking Lab for culinary activities, and an Event Room for plenaries and major group events.

Your participants will arrive by tram from the TGV station in 15 minutes. They will find a spot in the public parking lot nearby. They will discover a place that changes everything, from the very first minute.

That's it, a seminar that makes an impression.

Questions frequent

What seminar formats can you accommodate?

All the classic formats of a corporate seminar.

Half-day study session for a steering committee or project review. Full day with a plenary session in the morning and workshops in the afternoon. 2 or 3-day seminar with accommodation at our downtown partners.

We also host conventions, product launches, conferences, board meetings, and general assemblies.

Our capacity ranges from 6 to 150 people, depending on the spaces used. Our coordinator will decide on the format and sequence of activities with you during the briefing, according to your objectives and timeline.

Why choose Dijon for your company seminar?

Dijon checks all the boxes for a great seminar destination.

Accessibility: Less than 1 hour 30 minutes from Paris by TGV, 35 minutes from Lyon. Perfect for bringing together teams from multiple locations in just half a day.

Human-sized city center: everything is within walking distance. Your employees won't waste time on commutes.

Heritage and gastronomy: the capital of the Dukes of Burgundy offers a cultural and gastronomic setting that transforms lunch into an experience.

Côte de Nuits 15 minutes away: possibility of following up with a vineyard visit to conclude the seminar.

Concretely, your participants will have a better memory of a seminar in Dijon than a seminar in an anonymous hotel in a business park.

Can you manage a residential seminar with accommodation?

Yes, this is a format we handle regularly.

For your 1 to 3-day seminars, we coordinate everything: work sessions at Salt & Pepper, accommodation in our partner hotels in the city center (a 5-10 minute walk away), gourmet dinners on-site or in exceptional Burgundy locations, and transfers if needed.

The advantage of Dijon: your participants stay right in the center, walk to the seminar venue, and enjoy the city in the evening. No time wasted on buses, no «bunker hotel» syndrome in an industrial zone.

To go further, see our dedicated page on residential seminars.

Can we organize team building activities during the seminar?

Yes, and that's what turns a good seminar into a truly memorable one.

Our Cooking Lab allows you to incorporate culinary animations without changing locations. Express cooking workshops during the day, a MasterChef challenge to conclude the seminar, or a wine tasting with a sommelier: your employees will experience something out of the ordinary.

We also offer off-site activities: a visit to a wine estate in the Côte de Nuits, a walk through the historic center of Dijon, a themed escape game, and a design thinking workshop in an unusual setting.

The team-building animation is structured to serve the seminar's objective, not just to fill time. We align the format and timing with the brief provided by your HR department or office manager.

What is the catering formula for a seminar?

Our chef cooks on-site. This is one of our strengths compared to many venues that bring in an outside caterer.

Specifically, you benefit from several integrated services: welcome coffee and pastries, mid-morning and mid-afternoon gourmet breaks, seated or buffet lunch depending on your format, and gourmet dinner for evening or residential seminars.

Seasonal menus with produce from Burgundy, systematic vegetarian options, consideration of all dietary restrictions.

For an even more memorable experience, we offer Burgundy food and wine pairings explained by a sommelier, or a meal cooked by the participants themselves as part of a workshop at the Cooking Lab.
