FCC Paris, short for Flâneur Coffee Club, is a specialty coffee bar, a showroom and an event space over two floors at 21 rue Étienne Marcel, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. After hours, both levels can be given over to a launch, a pop-up or a private gathering. The venue states a capacity of 120 to 150 guests over a 4 to 5 hour event, with arrivals and departures throughout.
Seminars and company events
The venue is aimed at brand and cultural events more than formal meetings. Past events listed on the official site include a press breakfast, a holiday activation for a sportswear retailer, a menswear showroom during Paris Fashion Week, a tequila cocktail evening, a product launch with influencers and press, a collection launch, a music day party and a themed hoodie evening. Workshops, community meetups and listening sessions are also part of the offer.
By day, the space works as a coffee bar and living showroom with room for pop-ups. On the evenings the floors are opened, both levels are available for a launch or a private evening, with wine, cocktails and spirits poured at the modular bar.
Rooms and capacities
The venue opened in September 2025 in a heritage site. It has a usable surface of 67 to 75 m² once furniture is removed, spread over two levels, and a dedicated experiential space on the lower ground floor. The stated capacity is 120 to 150 guests over a 4 to 5 hour event. Because the figure counts arrivals and departures throughout the event, it is not a number of people present at the same moment. Organizers planning a seated format should ask for the layout and the number of seats.
Catering
The official page describes a modular mixology bar that pours wine, cocktails and spirits on select evenings and for private events. It does not describe a kitchen or a caterer. Organizers should ask what food service is allowed.
History and setting
The interior is described as softened brutalism, with custom stainless steel furniture, placed artworks and a modular mixology bar. Light, acoustics, aroma and texture soften the architecture. The venue also shows collectible artworks, limited editions and garments alongside the coffee bar.
Getting there
