Césure

Césure rents event and meeting space on the former Censier campus of Sorbonne Nouvelle, at 13 Rue Santeuil in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. The site covers 25,000 m² and offers nine spaces for private hire, from the 1,000 m² Grand Plateau to two small workshop rooms of 34 and 48 m². The official site gives surface areas, not guest numbers, so seating capacity for each layout is confirmed with the team.

Seminars and company events For working days, the site points to the Impasse (181 m²), listed for buffets, cocktails, conferences, training and seminars, and to Las Vergnas (96 m²), listed for training, meetings, seminars and team building. Two smaller rooms, Salle 14 (48 m²) and Salle 18 (34 m²), are listed for workshops, training, meetings and seminars. The two amphitheaters, Amphi A and Amphi B, are 310 m² each and are listed for general meetings, conferences, screenings and filming. The Grand Plateau is the largest room and handles congresses, forums, trade shows and showrooms.

Weddings and receptions The site does not mention weddings. For receptions, the Grand Plateau is listed for cocktails, private sales and exhibitions. La Cantine (271 m²) is listed for afterworks, buffets, cocktails and team building. The Hall Inter-Amphi (176 m²) is listed for cocktails,.

Rooms and capacities Surface areas published on the official site: Grand Plateau 1,000 m²; Amphi A 310 m²; Amphi B 310 m²; La Cantine 271 m²; Impasse 181 m²; Hall Inter-Amphi 176 m²; Las Vergnas 96 m²; Salle 14 48 m²; Salle 18 34 m². The Grand Plateau has a plain, modular design and is also used for fashion shows, pop-up stores, photo shoots, filming and private sales. A sales brochure can be downloaded from the privatization page.

Catering The site names La Cantine as a space for buffets and cocktails, and the venue also runs a public canteen. It does not state whether an in-house caterer is required for events, so confirm the catering rules when you ask.

History and setting Césure is a third place built around the sharing of knowledge. It is run by Plateau Urbain together with Association Aurore, Emmaüs Campüs, ESSpace and Yes We Camp, while the campus waits for its renovation by EPAURIF. The venue was opened in 2022 and its own site dates the project from 2022 to 2026. Resident organizations share the buildings with students and the public, and a cultural program of exhibitions, talks and evenings runs throughout the week. Plan around that: the Grand Plateau and the canteen host public events, so ask about availability for your date.

Getting there Césure is at 13 Rue Santeuil, 75005 Paris. The site gives two metro stops: Censier-Daubenton on line 7 and Campo-Formio on line 5.
