3e Cercle is an art gallery combined with a professional cooking workshop at 20 rue de la Pierre Levée in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Companies use it for seminars of up to 40 people, cocktails for 50 to 70 standing guests, seated lunches for 15 to 32 and cooking team building for up to 55.
Seminars and company events
For seminars and study days, the gallery serves as the meeting room, with natural light, video and sound equipment, and artworks on the walls. The official page proposes a full day, a morning half day or an afternoon half day for up to 40 people. A typical day alternates working sessions with a cooking moment: the chefs either cook in front of the group as a show, or the team puts on aprons for a cooking class at lunch or in the evening.
The day usually closes around 5:30 p.m. or continues with a company evening, with an aperitif, a dinner in the gallery or a cooking workshop. A sensory art session of about one hour around the works can be added to the program.
Rooms and capacities
The venue is a single gallery with an adjoining professional kitchen, and both can be reserved together. The official site gives these figures by format: team building up to 55 people, seminars up to 40, cocktails with chef stations for 50 to 70 standing guests, seated lunches or dinners for 15 to 32 and company evenings for up to 70. A privatization option gives a company the gallery and the kitchen for a launch, a shoot or a client evening.
Catering
Cooking is at the center of the offer. Chef Yannick Leclerc and his team cook on site and serve the guests, with stations during a cocktail and a market-based menu cooked in front of the table for a seated lunch. The company states that venue, chef, ingredients, wine, service and coordination are part of the proposal, with a single contact and a quote within one working day.
History and setting
The site presents itself as the only place in Paris that combines an art gallery and a professional cooking workshop. Exhibitions and openings take place in the same room, so the artworks on display change over time. The kitchen is the other half of the program: groups form there and dishes are prepared before everyone sits down in the gallery.
Getting there
The gallery is on rue de la Pierre Levée, in a quiet street of the 11th arrondissement. The pages we reviewed give no transport details, so confirm the nearest metro station with the venue when you book.
