A new type of activity for your seminars and business events

Are you looking for new, original activities out in the fresh air, with zero carbon and accessible for all? Le Grand Huit is your ideal provider!

Are you organising a business conference? A motivational seminar as a reward for contributors, commercial partners? A professional conference with or without spouses? A company retreat? A review meeting? A special evening? A celebration or party?

A Penny Farthing bicycle, a Solowheel, novelty bikes or Stand Up Paddle - an amazing spectacle which will involve all your participants and which produces some stunning photos of your event.

We are well accustomed to preparing activities for all sorts of business groups and in different countries. Our guides are used to coaching adults in a range of activities , adapting to people of varying positions of responsibility. The event can even be delivered at your own premises.

The different options:

Novelty bicycles event
A dozen novelty bikes, never seen before, are available for your group. Our guide will be there to assist participants with safety in mind.

Bicycle tour of the town
We prepare an individual guided tour itinerary with you according to your time allocation and group rotation. There are always interesting places to explore close to your workplace and a good programme to devise just for you. Our guide enlivens the activity with some fun and easy cycling games. We can also arrange more classic rides starting at our bases in Lille, Paris or Gand.

Eco-rallies
We can also take charge of your rally promoting awareness of green modes of transport celebrating the company's collective savings made by participants coming other than alone by car. The results in saving CO2 and Euros are impressive when the figures for all personnel are combined. This is a simple, quick, tangible activity which values your team.

Workshops for large groups (other activities)
By rotating around a selection of activities we are able to cater for large groups; as well as the activities already mentioned we are also able to offer:
• an introduction to Solowheel
• collective Zen massage, led by our company group specialist, Fred
• Molkky, a growing new skittle trend from Finland

Do you know the best bike rental company, according to its customers, in the Lille region? It’s Le Grand Huit of course. At first glance, some people don't find our Dutch flower bikes very serious. But after a few meters they love it. And appreciate our operation by appointment and with the freedom to return the bike at any time. So read their Google and website reviews and book your turn for this spring 2024.

Lille was Olympic !  In Lille our guides have been happy to show you around the city by bike. Our specialty is being able to do it while having fun, but also in so many languages: English, Dutch (5 of our guides), German, Italian, Spanish. If you insist, we can even do it for you in Egyptian Arabic and Ch’ti (north of France dialect)!

Baby fun bikes. The fun bikes are always a great success, but they made some people jealous: the under eight years old who couldn't share the track with adults. At this end of 2023 we create a special event for them because they are also the most motivated in learning to cycle, especially when it is fun. Book this new activity for your event.
