Organising a corporate event in Aubagne

On the doorstep of Marseille, Aubagne combines some of the largest business parks in eastern Marseille with the hills made famous by Marcel Pagnol. A practical area for local events: company parties, Christmas parties for employees’ children, team-bonding days.

In brief

Aubagne, 17 km from Marseille and about 25 minutes via the A50, mainly hosts local events: end-of-year parties, works council Christmas parties and team building in the Garlaban hills. ADJM Événementiel provides DJs, sound systems, bars and photo booths there, with travel charged at €1 per kilometre, return trip from Marseille.

  • Close at hand

    Half an hour from Marseille: the team and equipment arrive quickly and travel costs stay low.

  • Works council events

    Christmas party for employees’ children, end-of-year party, family day: we know these formats and their constraints.

  • Equipped rooms

    We top up the sound system of a community hall or a restaurant, without oversizing.

  • Hills to get moving

    Hiking, company olympics, treasure hunt: the Garlaban and the Étoile massif are ideal for team-bonding days.

Which companies organise events in Aubagne?

Aubagne is first and foremost an employment hub. The Les Paluds area and the neighbouring Gémenos business park are home to hundreds of companies: industry, logistics, food processing, services. The town also hosts the headquarters of the French Foreign Legion, based there since 1962; the Foreign Legion is in fact among the organisations that have placed their trust in us.

This business fabric explains the most common events: end-of-year meals and parties, Christmas parties organised by works councils, family days, openings of new premises. Formats where people look for proximity and simplicity rather than a spectacular venue.

Which venue should you choose for an event in Aubagne?

Your eventType of venueWhat to check
Christmas party for children, family dayCommunity hall, village hallCeiling height, dressing rooms for the show, kitchen
End-of-year partyFunction room, privately hired restaurantFinishing time, dance floor, parking
OpeningYour own premises or sitePower supply, shelter in case of rain
Team buildingFarmhouse or bastide in the hillsVehicle access, shade, water

Many companies in Les Paluds simply hold the event on their own premises: an emptied warehouse or a closed car park is transformed with a gazebo, furniture and good lighting. It is often the most economical solution, and the one that brings people together best.

How do you organise a works council Christmas party in Aubagne?

  1. Book the venue from September: December weekends are in high demand across eastern Marseille.
  2. Define the children’s age groups to choose the show and the activities.
  3. Plan an afternoon snack, a photo area with Father Christmas and the handing out of presents in alphabetical order.
  4. Put a sound system in the room so the show can be heard right to the back, even with 300 people chatting.

Which team building formats work around Aubagne?

The Garlaban hills, the landscapes of the childhood memories of Marcel Pagnol, who was born in Aubagne, are ideal for hikes and treasure hunts. For a more structured day, Survivor-style company olympics or an escape game can be set up on the grounds of a farmhouse. In summer, keep physical activities for the morning: the heat rises quickly in the hills, and access to the massifs may be restricted when there is a fire risk.

A successful end-of-year party often comes down to a room with good sound and a DJ who reads the dance floor.
