Agence Gérard Pons Voyages

Established in Bordeaux in 1987, the Gérard Pons agency rapidly developed real expertise in local business tourism. Ten people now work in the agency, including four who specialize in group travel and two in incoming customers.


Dynamic and perfectly familiar with all the local possibilities, the Gérard Pons business tourism team often updates its proposed activities and entertainment options (sport, culture, wine tasting, cookery lessons, and many other activities).
The agency's golden rule is: always adapt to the customer's needs.

Bike and scooter riding, as well as "discovery rallies" in Saint-Emilion are very fashionable at the moment. They are also excellent teambuilding activities. These sporting activities are complemented by regional cultural highlights (vineyards, Arcachon Bay, the city of Bordeaux, etc.).

Golf holidays are a Gérard Pons specialty. A golfer for many years, Gérard Pons has combined his passion with his job. His company is famous for organizing golfing trips as well as holidays and cruises for kidney dialysis patients.

Le château du Thil

Located in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château du Thil has an 8-hectare arboretum created by Louis-Ferdinand Fischer (who designed the Jardin Public in Bordeaux).

This is a truly exceptional venue in which to hold your seminars, business meetings, etc.

There are two superb 80 and 170 m² function rooms in the renovated Napoleon III kennels. Both rooms lead onto a 1,000 m² shaded terrace, where up to a thousand people can gather.

The château has a fully-equipped catering kitchen and two easily accessible car parks. Château du Thil also provides all essential equipment for business meetings (sound system, screen, video player, and paper board).

"Château le Thil-Comte Clary" wine is, of course, served at a preferential price. If you wish to enjoy a different wine, you will be asked to pay a corkage fee.

Côte Ouest Agence

The Côte Ouest agency is an important local event coordinator specialized in listening to, advising, and assisting companies and institutions in order to create and organize special events.

Ten people work in this agency, established in 1992. Their job is to coordinate, publicize, and organize tailor-made special events, incentive trips, and celebrations for companies and institutions.

Over the years, Côte Ouest has become specialized in cultural events. This started with the organization of the Andernos Jazz Festival shortly after the agency was created. Later, they were responsible for the Fête du Vin and the Fête du Fleuve, two major celebrations in Bordeaux. Côte Ouest is also involved in some of the most important events in Bordeaux such as Vinitech, Conforexpo, and the International Fair.

This event organizer is a popular local intermediary for companies and coordinators outside the region thanks to their experience and knowledge of all facets of organization: design, finding a suitable location, deciding on a theme, entertainment, and recommending service providers.

Jazz Maniac

Add a jazzy note to your events with the Jazz Maniac group.

Our concept is "JAZZ A LA CARTE".
For three years, Jazz Maniac has provided jazz orchestras to event organizers. Jazz Maniac can add atmosphere and entertainment to your evening events, dinners, cocktail parties, or shows, adapting to your specific needs. They also offer very useful advice in choosing musicians.

Every musical group is unique: a western swing duo for theme evenings, a background instrumental trio, a vocal jazz quartet, a News Orleans jazz band (which can play on a stage, or move around), a swing orchestra with or without dancers, and a big band with 16 musicians and a singer.

Please visit the jazz-maniac.com website to discover their full range of options. This site gives you a good idea of the various types of music: style, repertoire, photos, audio extracts, video clips, concert dates, albums, etc.
