Espace Cléry is one of three meeting and event venues run by the Formeret group in central Paris. It occupies a former private mansion at 17 rue de Cléry, in the 2nd arrondissement, and offers 20 rooms spread over about 1,000 m2 for groups of 10 to 200 people. The group states 170 rooms across its three sites and 6,000 m2 in total. Espace Cléry suits seminars, conferences, training days, award ceremonies and cocktails.
Seminars and company events
Rooms are modular and can be set up as a U-shape, islands, classroom or theatre. Equipment includes desks, furniture, touch screens, flip charts and air conditioning, and rooms have natural light. A dedicated technical person supports you throughout the event. Services listed by the group include sound, lighting, stages, furniture arrangement, a cloakroom, luggage storage, printing and taxi booking. A single contact follows your project from first booking to the day itself, and the team speaks both French and English.
The venue can be hired in whole or in part. The group mentions product launches, award ceremonies, fashion shows and film shoots as well as meetings and seminars. Teams are reachable every day from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Weddings and receptions
The official site markets professional events, training and competitions. It does not offer weddings, and we do not list the venue for them. Cocktail receptions and evening events for companies are part of the offer.
Rooms and capacities
The standout feature of Espace Cléry is its large glass roof in the Eiffel style, about 200 m2, which gives a bright hall for a plenary, an exhibition or a cocktail. The site lists a range of 10 to 200 people for the venue. The other group sites vary: La Rochefoucauld has 40 rooms and a 150 m2 panoramic terrace in the 9th arrondissement, and Vinci has 110 rooms and a paved courtyard in the 2nd. The group also states up to 150 people for a seminar room in one FAQ, so confirm the figure for your layout.
