about this space

This exceptional and highly adaptable space spans 6,635 square meters and is available for temporary rental, making it ideal for showcasing your upcoming showrooms, events, brand/product launches, private sales, fashion shows, photo shoots, catering events, cocktail receptions, press conferences, professional meetings, or exhibitions. The venue features a stunning hall that introduces the various spaces. The first area boasts 1,900 square meters of elongated space adorned with parquet flooring, a red carpet, vast white walls, and numerous recessed lights in the ceiling. A beautiful wooden proscenium enhances this area. The venue also includes a magnificent 925 square meter room, perfect for gala events, press meetings, and conferences. Additionally, a charming 750 square meter space is designed for hosting guests with delicious cuisine. Finally, there is a spacious 1,600 square meter area that offers countless layout possibilities. Various services (catering, sound/light management, floral arrangements, coat check, etc.) will be available to ensure your events are unforgettable and well-coordinated.

the fwv take

Book this one for full-scale fashion week programming that needs to run several formats at once, because 6,635 square meters split across four distinct halls lets a runway show, a seated press conference, a buyer showroom, and a catered cocktail reception happen on the same footprint without any of them bleeding into each other, and in our experience that is the single hardest thing to solve in central Paris during the collections.

The 1,900 square meter elongated hall with parquet flooring and a wooden proscenium is the operational centrepiece, giving you a natural runway axis and a built raised end that removes the cost of a stage build, while the vast white walls and recessed ceiling lighting take projection, vinyl, and hung graphics cleanly, and the separate 925 square meter room absorbs conference seating so your production and build schedule never has to strike one set to make room for another.

This suits established brands with real budget and real headcount, ready to wear houses, footwear and accessories labels at group scale, or a maison staging a full presentation with press day and wholesale appointments attached, and it is honestly wrong for an emerging label or a small accessories drop, since a basement volume of this size reads empty and expensive unless you fill it with genuine programming.

Louvre Rivoli sits one minute from the door and Châtelet five, which makes guest arrival straightforward, but the September and March womenswear windows on this address are typically committed nine to twelve months out, and because it is a below grade venue you should budget properly for load in timing, freight lift scheduling, and noise clearance before you enquire, which is where our venue sourcing team usually saves clients weeks.
