Comet Place des Victoires hosts study days, seminars, executive committees, conventions, afterworks, cocktails and seated dinners in three rooms for 70, 90 and 100 people. It is at 12 rue du Mail in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, in a building completed in 1792.
Seminars and company events
This is one of the Paris sites of the Comet Meetings network. Its theme is the urban jungle: tropical vegetation inside a green island in the historic center, described by the venue as a calm place away from the bustle of the city. The formats on the official page are study days, meetings, seminars, executive committees, conventions, afterworks, cocktails and seated dinners.
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. One contact at Comet follows each booking from the first brief, and an all-inclusive quote bundles venue, technical equipment and catering.
Rooms and capacities
The site names three main rooms. Le Potager takes up to 70 people, the room called 3.2 up to 100 and the room called 5.2 up to 90. The building has a terrace used for breakfast on sunny mornings.
A day often starts with a welcome and breakfast, moves to a plenary session in one of the larger rooms, continues with lunch and an afternoon break in a lounge corner, and ends with a cocktail. Small kitchens with coffee, soft drinks and snacks stay open all day.
Catering
The restaurant table is led by chef Vakhtang Meliava, with a seasonal local menu. The network states that about 70 percent of products are French and come from reasoned agriculture, and that breakfast, lunch and snacking are included in the day formula. For large receptions, the network works with the caterer Fleur de Mets. Its cocktail and seated dinner figures apply to the network, not to this building specifically.
History and setting
The building dates from 1792 and stands on the former gardens of the palace of Cardinal Richelieu. Inside, the planting and the garden theme give meeting rooms a very different feel from an office tower.
