The Casino de Paris can be hired for conferences, product launches, award ceremonies, fashion shows, showrooms and cocktail evenings around a concert, for up to 1,944 standing guests or 1,322 seated, and more than 2,000 depending on configuration. The venue is the music hall at 16 rue de Clichy, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, operated by Lagardère Live Entertainment.
Seminars and company events
The theatre works as a large plenary hall: a stage, an orchestra level and a first balcony, with layouts that change with the event. Companies can use it for an annual convention in theatre layout, a launch built around a show, an awards evening in cabaret layout, or a filmed or broadcast event. The Hall Napoléon III, the historic foyer, takes a cocktail of up to 350 people before or after the main session. Technical equipment is not described on the site; stage, sound and lighting are discussed with the venue's teams. For works councils and groups, a dedicated service books seats for shows and advises on group outings.
Rooms and capacities
Le Théâtre seats 1,322 in its classic layout, 663 in the stalls and 659 on the first balcony, not counting folding seats. Standing, the hall takes 1,944: 1,298 in the pit and 646 on the balcony. In cabaret layout, 80 tables in the stalls seat 302 guests, with 660 places on the balcony, for a total of about 960. The Hall Napoléon III covers 220 m² and suits standing receptions for up to 350.
Catering
Mistinguett, the restaurant and bar of the Casino de Paris, is on site. The venue does not publish a catering offer for private events, so menus and caterers are agreed with the private hire team.
History and setting
Entertainment on this site goes back to 1730, when the Duc de Richelieu fitted out a pleasure house, the Folie Richelieu, that staged shows until 1811. The Tivoli amusement park followed, then a theatre built in 1880 on part of a skating rink. Léon Volterra took over in 1914 and launched the great revues. Mistinguett reigned here until 1925 alongside Maurice Chevalier, and in 1930 Josephine Baker created J'ai deux amours in the revue Paris qui remue. Tino Rossi made his debut in 1934 and gave his farewell in 1982, which closed the era of the revues. Since Serge Gainsbourg's concerts in 1985, the Casino de Paris has been a concert and show venue. The building is listed as a historical monument.
