Espace Saint-Martin is a conference and event venue of more than 1,500 m² at 199 bis rue Saint-Martin, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, near the Centre Pompidou, the Forum des Halles and the Marais. It offers nine rooms for seminars, study days, executive meetings, conferences, conventions, product launches, trade presentations, professional cocktails and shows. Capacities run from 8 to 350 people depending on the room and layout.
Seminars and company events
The venue is built for professional events. A small committee can meet in Néfertiti, which is 15 m² and holds 8 to 10 people, while a full-day training or an annual meeting can use Philae, Louxor or Héliopolis. For a large audience, the 450 m² auditorium takes up to 350 people. The rooms are modular, which allows one venue to run a plenary session, workshops and a reception on the same day. The whole venue can also be hired as one 1,500 m² space. The site has dedicated pages for rates, catering, equipment, accommodation and accessibility, plus a downloadable brochure with all services.

Catering
Catering has its own page on the official site. The details of the formulas are not included in the text we read, so ask for the current offer when you request a quote.
History and setting
The venue also runs a free-access gallery where one artist is shown each season. The next exhibition announced is by Sophie Bonnaure in November and December 2026. The site holds an AFAQ certification and is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Getting there
The site describes the access as easy: a direct metro connection from all main train stations, three public car parks next to the venue, and the Châtelet-Les Halles RER hub at the crossing of several lines. It is a short walk from the Centre Pompidou and the Marais, which suits groups combining a working day with an evening in the neighborhood.
