Comet Bercy is a meeting and event venue at 40 avenue des Terroirs de France, in Paris 12th, run by Comet. Its theme is the grape harvest and the Parisian guinguette, under the title Les Heures Joyeuses. The largest room, the Plaza, takes up to 200 people. The venue handles study days, meetings, seminars, executive committees, conventions, afterworks, cocktails and seated dinners, with breakfast and lunch served by an in-house chef.
Seminars and company events
Comet sells a turnkey day rather than a bare room. A typical day follows a sequence: a welcome with coat check, breakfast on the terrace on sunny mornings, coffee breaks from self-service mini-kitchens open all day, lunch, an afternoon snack, a plenary session in one of the large rooms and an afterwork cocktail. For larger events, a production manager coordinates suppliers, runs weekly check-ins from 30 days out, organizes a logistics visit and supervises the day on site. A tasting for two people is included to validate the menu before the event.
Meeting rooms are modular. Layouts include boardroom, cabaret, theater, U-shape and cocktail. The Comet network lists 4K video projection, videoconferencing, fiber wifi, a flipchart and on-site technical support.
Rooms and capacities
The Plaza takes 200 people at most. The wine cellar takes 100. A third space, listed as 1.5, takes 95. The venue also offers a restaurant and terraces, and a 360-degree virtual tour is available on the official page. Formats listed include study days, meetings, seminars, executive committees, conventions, afterworks, cocktails and seated dinners.
Catering
The kitchen is led by Chef Vakhtang Meliava, who writes a seasonal menu with a local-sourcing approach: close to 70 percent of products are French and come from reasoned agriculture. Breakfast, lunch and unlimited snacking are included in a meeting day. The venue says guests are served as in a restaurant rather than from a buffet. Cocktails and seated dinners are also available for receptions.
History and setting
The site sits in Bercy, in the former wine-trading district of Paris. Comet has built the interior around that heritage, with spaces inspired by vines, great vintages and the spirit of the guinguette.
