The interior features a significant ceiling height of 7 meters, providing an open and expansive volume throughout the premises.

the fwv take
Book this Bercy volume for an exhibition-format collection preview or a press day that doubles as an installation, because 414 square metres sitting under a 7 metre ceiling with a dedicated loading area and on-site parking lets you stage product as objects and move a full season of crated samples in without street occupation permits or a hand carry chain from the kerb.
What makes this address work for large-format fashion presentation is that clear 7 metre height across a neutral, unbroken shell, which carries flown lighting rigs, suspended sets, double height print and scaffolded rail systems that any standard short-term commercial space would force you to cut down, and it gives a camera crew clean wide and vertical framing without the room edges creeping into shot.
The honest brand fit is established contemporary rather than heritage maison, meaning ready-to-wear, technical outerwear, footwear, eyewear or fragrance labels with five years of trading and a Paris press list they can genuinely fill, working in an architectural or industrial minimal register, while decorative and Haussmannian-coded brands will burn their build budget faking an interior this room does not have and are better served by smaller spaces in Paris.
In our experience the late September and early March windows go first on high-volume spaces with proper loading access, so allow eight to ten weeks, and the operational quirk to price in before enquiring is that amenities stop at a single WC, so catering infrastructure, power distribution, seating and front of house all need locking into your activation timeline six weeks out, with Cour Saint-Émilion at three minutes doing the work the street name will not.

activation ideas
Art Exhibition or Gallery Showing
This is the format the building was made for, because 414 square metres under a clear 7 metre ceiling behaves like a white cube rather than a converted retail unit. Brands and curators working at this scale typically hang double height print, suspend work from rigging points and build freestanding partitions to create a route through the room. Confirm load limits and fixing points through production and build before the concept is locked, as nothing structural is pre-installed.
SS/AW Seasonal Showroom
The space works well as a season-long showroom rental because the footprint separates a rail-led presentation zone, an appointment area and a locked back of house sample store without any of the three overlapping. In practice the dedicated loading area and on-site parking handle inbound and outbound crated samples across an eight to twelve day market period without street occupation permits. Height allows scaffolded double-hang rail systems, which materially increases how much of a collection stays visible at once.
Press Day / Media Preview
A strong press day venue for brands who want product read as installation rather than merchandise, since the gallery volume gives editors distance to view pieces properly. Realistically this suits 60 to 120 editors and stylists across a rolling day, with a still life corner for shot requests. Cour Saint-Émilion at three minutes carries the invitation better than the street name, and if your press list needs a more central postcode we will show you alternative spaces in Paris alongside it.
Buyer Appointments and Wholesale Preview
Works well for back to back wholesale appointments because 414 square metres lets you run two or three buyer tables simultaneously with enough separation that accounts do not overhear each other. On-site parking is genuinely useful when buyers arrive by car or taxi with assistants, which is rare in central Paris showroom districts. Plan seating, lighting and rails into the build, as the venue provides a WC and little else, so nothing is discovered during your first appointment day.
Product Launch
The 7 metre height is the reason to launch here, because it carries a hero installation, a suspended set piece or a scaled product replica that a standard short-term commercial space would force you to cut down. For a launch we would programme a seated or standing reveal moment for 150 to 250 guests, then open the wider floor for product interaction. Power distribution, AV and bar infrastructure all need bringing in, so build days should sit inside the tenancy.
Brand Activation and Pop-Up Exhibition
Adequate to strong for a week-long brand activation, with the honest caveat that Bercy is a destination district rather than a footfall street, so you are driving your own traffic. What makes this work as a pop-up concept specifically is the neutral shell and the loading bay, meaning a full custom retail experience can be trucked in and built without hand carrying from the kerb. Pair it with an invited opening and a press moment rather than relying on passing trade.
Brand Shoot and Content Day
A capable content studio for campaign, lookbook and e-commerce shoot work, because the 7 metre ceiling lets you rig overhead and shoot wide or vertical without room boundaries creeping into frame. At 414 square metres you can build two or three sets side by side and keep wardrobe, hair and makeup and client viewing in separate zones. On-site parking absorbs crew vehicles and the loading area moves grip and lighting cases straight in, saving roughly half a day of setup.
Video Production
Suits film and motion work well, as the height accommodates lighting rigs, cranes and tall backdrops that low-ceiling studio spaces cannot take. In practice the volume also helps acoustically for playback and interview setups, though the room is untreated so bring blankets if you are recording clean dialogue. Book build and strike days either side of the shoot block, and confirm vehicle dimensions for the loading area in advance so a generator truck is not turned away on the morning.
Sample Sale
Operationally this is one of the easier sample sale spaces in eastern Paris, because the loading area and parking let you land pallets of stock and restock through the day without queue disruption. The footprint holds a queue system, a rail floor, fitting bays and a till line comfortably, though a single WC becomes the pressure point at high volume. Payment infrastructure needs bringing in, which we scope with point of sale and payments alongside staffing levels.
Networking Event and Cocktail Reception
Works well for evening receptions and industry networking, with an occupancy estimate approaching 430 and a ceiling height that absorbs crowd noise instead of amplifying it. We would programme 200 to 300 guests for comfort rather than pushing to the ceiling figure, primarily because sanitary facilities are limited to one WC and additional units need speccing into the production plan. Catering infrastructure, bar build and cloakroom all come in, so allow a full build day before doors.

frequently asked
Yes, this 414 square metre office and gallery space at 36 Terrasse de Champagne in Paris 75012 is available for pop-up shops and temporary retail. The volume works best as a pop-up exhibition or large-format brand activation rather than a walk-in boutique, because Bercy is a destination district and you will be driving your own traffic rather than relying on street footfall. In our experience handling bookings in this part of the 12th, brands that pair a pop-up shop with an invited opening and a press moment get far more out of the footprint than those relying on passing trade. If your brief is footfall-led rather than destination-led, we will show you alternative spaces in Paris
who it suits
Brand Scale
This space fits established mid-market and upper-tier brands with a 20 to 100 person team, five or more years of trading, and either a mature wholesale book or a Paris press list they already know how to fill. At 414 square metres with 7 metre ceilings and an occupancy estimate of 430, this is a volume that needs to be programmed, not simply occupied. The loading area and on-site parking mean set build, crated collections and freight arrive without street permits or hand carrying, which is exactly what a brand shipping a full season of samples requires. Where we see mismatches is when a five person label with one collection books a hall of this scale and ends up with a beautifully lit room that reads as empty. Brands under roughly ten people are better served by a compact space in Paris in the Marais or Sentier. Global houses running full runway builds may also find 414 square metres tight for seated show formats.
Aesthetic Fit
Brands with a gallery-led, architectural or industrial-minimal visual language will read best here. The 7 metre ceiling height and neutral, functional shell behave like a white cube, so contemporary ready-to-wear, avant-garde tailoring, technical outerwear, footwear, eyewear, furniture-adjacent lifestyle lines and fragrance all sit naturally against the volume. Tall hanging elements, suspended installations, scaffolded rails and oversized print work all become possible in a way low-ceiling retail units never allow. What does not work is heritage domestic warmth. If your identity depends on parquet, cornicing, boiserie and a Haussmannian apartment feeling, this shell will fight you and you will spend your build budget faking a period interior. Highly decorative, maximalist or boudoir-coded brands should look elsewhere. Anything requiring a full custom environment should be scoped through production and build before committing.
Best Use Cases
First choice is a gallery-format collection preview or exhibition-style brand presentation, because the ceiling height and neutral volume let product be staged as objects rather than merchandised as stock. Second choice is a press day and wholesale appointment hub, since the footprint absorbs a showroom zone, a seating area and a back-of-house sample store in one tenancy while the loading bay handles inbound freight. Third is an exhibition opening or cocktail reception, with capacity approaching 430 and metro access at Cour Saint-Émilion three minutes away. Fourth is a large-scale pop-up exhibition or immersive brand activation across a full week. Fifth is a content studio block, where the volume and height give real flexibility on camera. Sixth is a sample sale, workable given parking and loading, though the Bercy location means you will need to drive the traffic. Seventh is a corporate event, team offsite or partner networking evening.
Budget Signal
Expect mid-market pricing per square metre for Paris, materially below anything comparable in the 1st, 3rd or 8th arrondissements. Bercy is the value trade in this city. You are buying volume, ceiling height and logistics rather than a prestigious street address, and brands at this stage typically find that the money saved against a prime commercial location on rue Saint-Honoré funds the build that actually makes the presentation land. Against a hotel event space you gain full creative control, longer tenancy and no food and beverage minimum. Against a co-working venue you gain a genuinely blank shell. Against a shared pop-up format you gain exclusivity and your own front door. Note that amenities are basic, with a WC and little else, so budget for furniture, lighting, catering infrastructure and staffing. Run the numbers through our budget calculator before you enquire.
