Hôtel Gaillard is a neo-Renaissance mansion at 1 place du Général Catroux in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, close to Parc Monceau. Private events of up to 280 guests standing, or 140 seated, can be held in its four event spaces: the Toit Malherbes, the Hall Defrasse, an auditorium and the Salle des Coffres.
Seminars and company events
The building also houses Citéco, the Cité de l'Économie museum, and the museum states that private events can be organised in the historic rooms. Requests for hiring spaces are handled by its partner Moma Sélection rather than by the museum itself. For companies, the format that fits best is a conference followed by a dinner or a cocktail reception, all in the same building.
The auditorium is listed with 100 places in conference layout. It is the room to use for plenary talks, presentations or a board event. After the session, guests can move to the Hall Defrasse or the Toit Malherbes for the reception.
Rooms and capacities
The Toit Malherbes is the largest space, listed for 280 guests at a cocktail, 140 seated for dinner and 140 in conference layout. The Hall Defrasse takes 160 guests at a cocktail and 115 seated for dinner. The Auditorium seats 100 for a conference. The Salle des Coffres, a former bank vault room, is listed for 120 guests at a cocktail.
The published table does not give surface areas, and it does not say whether the conference figure is a theatre layout. Organisers should confirm layouts and floor plans when they request a quote.
Catering
The venue page links to a list of approved caterers. Catering is therefore arranged through the caterers that Moma Sélection proposes, not by the museum, and the choice of menu is made with the quote request.
History and setting
The mansion was built in 1882 for Émile Gaillard, a banker and art collector, and it is designed as an urban château in a neo-Renaissance style. The whole building is listed as a historic monument. It later served as a branch of the Banque de France, which explains the Salle des Coffres, and it now houses the collections of Citéco, presented as the first museum dedicated to economics.
The setting suits events where the place itself is part of the message, for example a financial services client dinner, an economics conference or a corporate anniversary.
Getting there
The address is 1 place du Général Catroux, on the edge of Parc Monceau in the 17th arrondissement. The official pages do not list metro lines or stations, so organisers should check the closest stops when they plan the day. The area is well connected by metro and bus, and a short walk from the Parc Monceau neighborhood.
Because the museum is open to the public on other days, event timing, access for guests and the use of the courtyard and entrance hall are agreed when the booking is confirmed. Moma Sélection handles these questions through its quote form.
