Au Perchoir can host training sessions, meetings, small conferences, seminars and private parties, with a meeting room for up to 30 people and a smaller room for two. The venue mixes work and sport: groups can climb, eat and have a drink without changing address. It is Au Perchoir, a climbing hall, restaurant, bar and coworking space at 492 rue des Bécasses in Crolles, in the Grésivaudan valley.
Seminars and company events
The venue sells professional events in its dedicated spaces: seminars, training sessions and company meetings. The main meeting room is large and bright, and takes up to 30 people for training, meetings and talks. A second, smaller room suits a meeting for two. A private office for two to three people can also be rented for appointments.
The coworking area adds free printing, coffee and tea, a fitted kitchen, two soundproof phone booths and a lounge corner with sofas. For a training day, this means a group can take breaks in the lounge and make calls in private.
Climbing is the obvious way to break a working day here. The bouldering hall covers 1,400 m² in daylight and has more than 150 problems, reset every week by the route setters on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It also has a Kilter Board, a connected wall, a spray wall for technique and strength work, and a training area for physical preparation. Climbing shoes can be rented on site. Ask the team how a supervised climbing session can be added to your program.
Weddings and receptions
Au Perchoir offers private hire for personal celebrations with family and friends. It also runs children's birthday parties from age 5, with an hour of climbing supervised by a professional and an optional birthday cake made by the chef. Requests for these parties go by email at least three weeks ahead. The venue does not mention weddings.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting room takes up to 30 people. The small meeting room takes two people. The private office takes two to three people. The 1,400 m² bouldering hall is open to the public, with a separate area for children and beginners. Ask the team about capacities for a private evening.
Catering
The restaurant serves home cooking made with fresh, seasonal produce. The menu changes every day and always includes a vegetarian dish. It holds the Ecotable label with two macarons. The restaurant serves lunch from Monday to Saturday, from noon to 2 pm. The bar serves coffee during the day and local beers, wines and soft drinks in the evening, with sharing boards and small hot dishes. For events, the team offers several catering formats and can build a custom menu.
History and setting
The venue opens seven days a week: from 9 am to 11 pm on weekdays and from 9 am to 8 pm at weekends. It also runs its own program of exhibitions, stand-up comedy, improv shows, concerts and screenings throughout the year.
