Pontivy, renamed Napoléonville in 1804, invites companies and groups to rediscover this rich past through an original team building activity: Dans la peau d’un soldat napoléonien (In the shoes of a Napoleonic soldier).
Strengthen cohesion through history
This immersive experience transports participants into the daily life of a conscript of the Empire. Guided by an expert in full uniform of a line infantryman of the First Empire, teams will explore Napoleonic military formations, the use of equipment, and the realities of soldier life during this decisive era.
The activity is designed for groups of 10 to 40 people and combines historical discovery with playful challenges. Participants are divided into platoons, where teamwork and coordination become essential to succeed in the exercises. Marching drills, tactical manoeuvres and collective challenges culminate in a friendly confrontation that determines the most effective platoon.
Beyond the historical immersion, the goal is clear: reinforce bonds, stimulate communication and highlight individual talents within a collective effort. The Napoleonic setting adds both authenticity and excitement, making the activity a memorable way to strengthen team spirit.
Pontivy, a city shaped by Napoleon
Situated in the heart of Brittany, Pontivy is one of the emblematic Napoleonic cities of Europe. Its unique urban plan, designed under Napoleon’s rule, remains visible today, with wide straight avenues, monumental squares and military architecture reflecting the Emperor’s ambition. Walking through its streets is like stepping back in time, making it an ideal location to combine cultural discovery with dynamic group activities.
