Elysées Biarritz is a private cinema and auditorium at 22-24 rue Quentin Bauchart, in the Golden Triangle of Paris 8th, a short walk from the Champs-Élysées. It combines a 240-seat auditorium with an adjoining reception space, the Rotonde, of 330 m². Together they host conferences, awards, seminars, round tables, study days, film and series premieres, receptions, seated dinners, fashion shows, exhibitions, shoots and press presentations. The Rotonde takes up to 300 guests at a cocktail.
Seminars and company events
The auditorium is set up for corporate events. It has 240 seats, 170 in the stalls and 70 on the balcony. A full technical package is included: wireless and headset microphones, an amplified lectern with a gooseneck microphone, return screens, a remote control and an integrated control booth with sound and lighting. Stage furniture is available. The venue suggests it for seminars, general meetings, round tables, conferences, team building and award ceremonies.
The room was inaugurated in 1938 under the name UGC Biarritz. It now has a 4K projection system and Dolby Atmos sound, which makes it usable for private screenings, test screenings and previews for staff and press.
Rooms and capacities
The Auditorium seats 240 at most. The Rotonde is modular and holds 300 guests for a cocktail or a dance party, 200 for a seated dinner, 100 in theater layout and 70 in cabaret layout. It can host breakfasts, lunch cocktails, seated dinners and gourmet breaks, but also exhibition stands, showcases, catwalks and filming. The venue states that dance parties run without constraints on hours or noise level.
Catering
The official page describes the Rotonde as suited to breakfasts, lunch cocktails, seated dinners and tasting events, but it does not name a caterer or a kitchen. Organizers should ask which catering options and suppliers are allowed.
History and setting
The Rotonde is dominated by a chandelier made of 7,000 LED blades, whose colors can be customized for each event. The cinema has been renovated and remains linked to the history of the 7th art in Paris since 1938. Its location in the Golden Triangle, between the Champs-Élysées and avenue George V, makes it easy to reach for guests coming from the business districts of the west of Paris, and the two spaces can be booked together when a program moves from a plenary session to a reception.
Getting there
The address is 22-24 rue Quentin Bauchart, 75008 Paris. The nearest metro stations are George V on line 1 and Charles de Gaulle-Étoile on lines 1, 2 and 6, which also serves RER A. The Indigo car park faces 64 avenue des Champs-Élysées.
