Electric Paris is an event and cultural venue of 800 m² at 128 rue La Fayette in Paris 10e, close to Gare du Nord. It occupies a former workshop from 1862, spread over three levels under a glass roof, and its capacity reaches 500 people under ERP rules. Organisers book it for conferences, seminars, showrooms, cocktails, launches, evening parties and broadcast formats such as watch parties and streaming.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists conferences, seminars, showrooms, product launches, fashion shows, hybrid events and live streaming among its uses. The official site stresses modular space: three levels and about 800 m² can be arranged for a confidential launch as well as for a large format. A 5 by 3 m screen is available for broadcasts, and a technical control room is integrated, which reduces the number of suppliers an organiser has to coordinate. Natural light enters through a 100 m² glass roof, and the ceiling reaches 10 m. A technical sheet with capacities, spaces, streaming, live broadcast, infrastructure and access can be downloaded from the site, along with a brochure, and a virtual tour and online appointment are offered before a visit.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages present cocktails, evening parties and concerts, but they do not describe a wedding offer. For a private reception or an evening celebration, the venue states that it holds an authorization for night events. This allows an event to continue late and to keep sound running through the night, which few Paris venues offer according to the site itself.
Rooms and capacities
The venue gives its total figures rather than a list of rooms: 800 m², three levels and up to 500 people in ERP configuration. The glass-roofed volume covers 100 m² and rises 10 m. The site does not detail the capacity of each level in the pages read, so ask for the technical sheet, which lists capacities by layout. Equipment on site includes two bars, a professional kitchen, a technical control room, high-end furniture included in the hire and a lift for people with reduced mobility.
Catering
The venue has a fully equipped professional kitchen and two bars on site. The pages read do not state whether catering is in-house or supplied by an outside caterer, so this should be confirmed in the quote request. The kitchen and bars allow a caterer to work on site without bringing every piece of equipment.
History and setting
The building is a former workshop dating from 1862 that has been converted into a cultural and events center. The site describes the setting as a place with natural light, open volumes and a strong visual identity. The venue is run by a team led by Damien Clergerie, named as author on the official blog.
Getting there
Electric Paris is on rue La Fayette in the 10th arrondissement, a few minutes from Gare du Nord, which the site describes as about 10 minutes away. Gare du Nord serves Metro lines 4 and 5, RER B, D and E, and Eurostar and Thalys trains, which suits guests arriving from other cities. Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport is connected to Gare du Nord by RER B.
