Comet Bourse - La Ville Rêvée hosts conventions, general assemblies, conferences, study days, seminars and cocktails, with an auditorium for 280 people and a plaza and reception area for 350. It is at 35 rue Saint-Marc in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, close to the Bourse.
Seminars and company events
This site of the Comet Meetings network is built around the theme of a hidden city. Guests cross the Place du Village and Le Square, spaces inspired by the city of tomorrow, on the way to the meeting rooms. The official page lists study days, executive committees, seminars, meetings, conventions, general assemblies, conferences, afterworks and cocktails.
Rooms can be arranged in theater, U-shape, classroom, boardroom or cabaret layouts. The network lists 4K video projection, videoconferencing, fiber Wi-Fi, flipcharts and technical support on site all day. A single contact follows each booking from the first brief, and a production manager coordinates suppliers on larger events. The venue also provides a downloadable PDF fact sheet with a detailed description of each space.
Rooms and capacities
The auditorium takes up to 280 people and suits plenary sessions, general assemblies and conferences. The Plaza, also called the Grande Place, together with the reception area, takes up to 350 people and works for a standing cocktail or a lunch. The smaller meeting rooms are not listed individually on the pages we reviewed, so ask for the fact sheet when you request a quote.
A typical day starts with a welcome and coffee, moves to a plenary in the auditorium, continues with a cocktail lunch, and ends with an afternoon break or an afterwork. Small kitchens with drinks and snacks stay open during the day.
Catering
Catering at this site is provided by Fleur de Mets, an event caterer with the status of a mission-driven company and an ISO 20121 certification. The site names its creative director Philippe Saillard and its pastry chef Séverine Rol. The lunch is a cocktail lunch with several menus adapted to different diets, and the caterer describes a creative cuisine with a strong vegetable side, a loyal service team and custom set design for receptions.
History and setting
The building was designed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. The site presents it as a secret city set inside Paris, with its own square and village plaza, so meetings take place in a setting that differs clearly from a standard hotel conference room.
