The Cirque d'Hiver Bouglione in Paris can be hired for conventions, seminars, seated dinners, cocktails, gala evenings, concerts, weddings, shows, fashion shows and product launches. It welcomes groups from 100 to 1,500 people. The venue is at 110 rue Amelot, in the 11th arrondissement, and serves event agencies, companies and private clients.
Seminars and company events
The venue is available in full or in part, according to the needs of the event. Companies use it for conventions, seminars and product launches, and agencies use it for galas and shows. The team supports organisers in building the project and sends a documentation pack on request. Event contacts are named on the privatization page, with a phone number and an email address for requests.
The hall is a circus building with a ring at its center, which gives a presentation or a show a distinctive stage. It also has a link to cinema: the venue marks the 70th anniversary of the film Trapèze, released in 1956 and shot entirely under its dome. The same dome appears on the site as part of its history page.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are on the list of events the venue welcomes, together with cocktails and seated meals. Receptions can use the venue entirely or partly. The pages provided give no wedding package, so couples should ask the team about dates, layout and catering.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives an overall range of 100 to 1,500 guests. Beyond that, the pages provided do not publish a capacity for each layout or a list of named rooms, so organisers should ask for the plan and the number of guests for each format. The venue states that it is possible to hire a part of the building when a full privatization is not needed.
In terms of catering volumes, the venue mentions cocktails of up to 1,000 guests and dinners of 400 guests, which gives a sense of the largest formats it has served.
Catering
The venue works with selected caterers rather than an in-house kitchen. They handle cocktails for 1,000 guests, dinners for 400 guests, breakfasts and afternoon snacks, and they adapt to different budgets and requirements. The caterer is chosen with the venue when the request is made.
History and setting
The Cirque d'Hiver is a Paris landmark, with a history page and a section on works and past events on its site. A calendar of concerts, comedy and shows runs through the year, so organisers should check available dates early. Some evenings are taken by public performances.
Getting there
The venue is at 110 rue Amelot, 75011 Paris. The pages provided do not name a metro station, so confirm the best access with the team when you send your request.
