La Compagnie 1837 is an event venue at 1 cour de Rome in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, beside Gare Saint-Lazare. It covers 435 m² and takes between 20 and 200 guests. The main room is the Grande Salle, a 400 m² hall with railway-inspired architecture, completed by an adjoining Haussmann salon whose layout adapts to the event. The venue is part of the Paris Society Events portfolio.
Seminars and company events
The Grande Salle offers a large, bright volume with views over the cour de Rome and into the Saint-Lazare station hall. It suits conferences, product launches, receptions and seated dinners, and the official page lists the capacity range of 20 to 200 people so that smaller groups can also use the venue. The adjoining salon is more intimate and can take a meeting, a reception area or a break space beside the main hall.
The location helps organisers whose guests travel by train. Saint-Lazare serves suburban and regional lines, and the metro lines that stop there are 3, 9, 12, 13 and 14. The venue states that it is open from Monday to Sunday, around the clock, so early set-up and late finishes can be discussed with the team.
Weddings and receptions
The official venue page does not sell weddings as such. Paris Society Events does offer a wedding planner service, which it says applies to several of its venues, so ask whether La Compagnie 1837 is part of it if you plan a private celebration. Receptions and dinners are part of the venue's usual use.
Rooms and capacities
The total area is 435 m². The Grande Salle measures 400 m² and the adjoining salon completes the space. The capacity range is 20 to 200 people. The page offers a capacities table, which the organiser should consult for each layout before booking.
Catering
The official page does not detail the catering model. Paris Society Events is a restaurant and event group, so ask the team about food and beverage options at the time of your request.
History and setting
The building is presented as the first Paris railway station, built in the era of the Compagnie transatlantique. It was the departure point for travelers heading to Normandy and to the liners that sailed for New York. The venue draws on that history, with club-like places and secret meeting spots in its story. Today the architecture keeps a railway character inside a central Paris address.
Getting there
The address is 1 cour de Rome, 75008 Paris. The metro stop is Saint-Lazare, on lines 3, 9, 12, 13 and 14. Many bus lines also serve the station area. The public Saint-Lazare parking is at 20 rue de Rome, close to the entrance. Requests go through the form on the Paris Society Events page or by email.
