Flexibility
Raising Stones Events is dedicated to providing you with the high quality services that you expect from a larger firm, but with the personal touch and flexibility of a smaller company.
Creativity
Creativity is more than simply standing out. Raising Stones is in constant evolution, pushing forward, unlocking possibilities, and exploring fresh paths driven by curiosity and a relentless urge to innovate.”
Ethical
Their goal is to become a trusted partner of their clients, not just a vendor. They have differentiated themselves from the competition through strong relationships, and a high level of service – important reasons their clients are so loyal to Raising Stones.
Experts in Customer Service
Deep knowledge of their destination and strong logistics allow them to respond quickly to every need. Their services are based not only on technical proficiency, but also on a warm human approach. They strive every day to provide the best possible experience for their customers.
DMC Plus
In 2016, RSE integrated Evently Yours, a company specialized in employee engagement and team-building activities in order to offer these services in-house to our clients. The latest development was the opening of its own Production Department in 2019. In doing so, Raising Stones became the only DMC in the South of France and Monaco with its own in-house Production and Activity departments. Finally, to demonstrate our commitment to the responsible and sustainable management of our events, we have obtained ISO20121 certification in 2023.

Greek and Italian influences have shaped a rich cultural and culinary heritage, making it a delight for food lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
Meeting planners will appreciate the wide variety of accommodations to suit every style and budget. Whether you prefer timeless Belle Époque elegance, romantic retreats, modern Mediterranean vibes, or contemporary chic, each property embodies warmth, comfort, and the legendary hospitality that has defined this region for over a century.
Just beyond the Riviera lies the enchanting region of Provence—an area renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, from rolling lavender fields to sun-drenched vineyards and charming hilltop villages.
As the first Roman province beyond the Alps, Provence is steeped in history, with architectural and cultural influences that still shape its identity today. Its mild Mediterranean climate makes it an ideal year-round destination, perfect for outdoor adventures, scenic exploration, and indulging in the region’s celebrated culinary traditions.
