Comet Ternes is the first venue of the Comet Meetings network, opened in 2017 at 8-10 rue Torricelli in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. The building is a former blind factory redesigned around the theme of the Fabrique Spatiale. It hosts study days, meetings, seminars, executive committees, conventions, afterworks, cocktails and seated dinners, with a chef-led restaurant and terraces on site.
Seminars and company events
The offer is a turnkey day. A guest is welcomed at a reception desk with a cloakroom, and breakfast is served, in good weather on the terrace. Coffee and cold drinks are available all day from open mini-kitchens, and lunch comes from the Comet restaurant rather than a buffet. A plenary session brings everyone together in one of the large rooms, and the day can end with an afternoon break or an afterwork cocktail. Rooms can be set in board, cabaret, theatre, U or cocktail layouts. The standard technical kit includes 4K video projection, videoconferencing, fiber wifi and a paperboard, with a support person on site. For larger events, a production manager coordinates all suppliers, with weekly check-ins from 30 days out, a logistics visit and a tasting for two.
Rooms and capacities
The large spaces listed on the venue page are Le Plaza, for up to 100 people, and the rooms numbered 1.1, 1.6 and 3.1, for up to 60, 70 and 120 people. A virtual 360-degree tour is available. Because the pairing of names and figures is taken from a compact list, confirm each capacity for your layout when you request a quote.
Catering
Catering is led by Chef Vakhtang Meliava, who runs the Comet restaurant with a seasonal menu that changes each season. About 70 percent of products are French and come from managed agriculture. Breakfast, lunch and snacking are included in the day formula. For large receptions, the partner caterer Fleur de Mets takes over, with cocktails for up to 500 people and seated dinners for up to 210, according to the Comet network pages.
History and setting
The founders opened Comet Ternes in 2017, and the interior designers kept the industrial feel of the former blind factory. The venue gives guests a choice of terraces and a lounge corner for informal conversation.
