A Day at
La Boulie
Nestled in the woodlands west of Paris, the Racing Club de France La Boulie is one of France's most prestigious private clubs, just 30 minutes from the city. For one day, we're taking over this historic venue for a seated lunch at the clubhouse, golf on the greens, and the kind of unscripted conversations that only happen away from the crowd.
Agenda
Reception
Welcome drinks at the clubhouse. Badge pickup, networking, and personalized matchmaking card.
Seated Lunch
Curated seating designed to spark meaningful connections. Fine dining in the clubhouse restaurant.
Golf
Golf initiation on the greens. All levels welcome. Two hours of fresh air and conversations.
Van Transfer to Paris
Mercedes V-Class shuttles to central Paris. Curated seating for conversations on the road.
The Institutional Soirée
An evening gathering for the principals who decide. Champagne, canapés, and the Eiffel Tower in frame at a private Paris address — the night before the Palais opens its doors.
Every Prelude · Golf guest is whitelisted to The Institutional Soirée.
The Experience
Welcome Pack
Custom leather notebook with Proof of Talk embossing, personalized matchmaking card, event agenda, and branded merch from our co-hosts.
Matchmaking Cards
Every guest receives a personalized card with 5 people to meet and why. Curated introductions that lead to real partnerships.
Golf
No handicap required. A private session on the practice range and putting green, guided by La Boulie's instructors. The perfect setting to break the ice before lunch.
Pitch Cars
6-8 Mercedes V-Class shuttles from La Boulie to central Paris. Thirty minutes to connect before the evening begins.
Roland Garros Live
It's French Open season. Live screening on the rooftop with cocktails — the perfect icebreaker before dinner.
Chatham House Rule
What's shared stays in the room. No formal pitches - the best deals happen naturally, over a round of golf, a car ride, or a glass of wine.
