It spreads over five levels and 1,700 m² in a 19th-century town house at 22 rue d'Aumale, in the Nouvelle Athènes district of Paris 9th. The venue is run by By Kadrance and is dedicated to professional events.
Seminars and company events
A typical seminar uses the basement screening room for the plenary, the Club on the ground floor for breaks and lunch, and the upper floors for workshops. The Studio, on the first floor, can host a working day for up to 100 in theatre layout in its main salon, with the two other rooms used for breaks, lunch or breakouts. The Atelier, on the second floor, suits a working day for 50 with a plenary room, a dining area and two workshop rooms. The Penthouse, on the top floor, is laid out as an apartment for creative meetings, with a touch screen and a private rooftop terrace.
The operator offers digital and hybrid formats, from webcasts and live streaming to videoconferences, with audio and video equipment and high-speed fiber. The screening room has a control booth that can broadcast a show or talk to the upper floors.

Catering
The operator works with outside caterers, including some involved with charities. The pages reviewed do not describe an in-house kitchen; ask the team which caterers are approved.
History and setting
The town house dates from the 19th century and stands on rue d'Aumale, a quiet street of dressed-stone buildings in the Nouvelle Athènes, once a center of artistic and intellectual life. The 9th arrondissement is known for its theaters and concert halls. The building was formerly a music club where French artists such as Julien Doré and Bénabar performed, and each floor now takes its name from the performing arts: projection, club, studio, atelier.
The team on site includes a site manager, an operations manager, a logistics and technical coordinator and a sales team.
