The inspiration begins with a welcome at the romantic pond, after which you collaborate in one of the historic mill halls or the modern Grain Transfer. The alternation between monumental spaces and the surrounding estate provides a natural rhythm of concentration and relaxation. After an intensive, creative meeting, you can walk along the stream or around the pond for a fresh perspective. If you prefer to be active in between, you can also play a game of pétanque on our official pétanque Moulodrome: Le Boulevaart. You conclude the meeting with a pleasant drink on the terrace, a healthy lunch, a farmer's barbecue, or a culinary dinner in the farmhouse. This way, a business meeting turns into a complete experience centered around collaboration and connection.
