L'Appart de la Villette is an event and creative space in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, at 9 avenue du Nouveau Conservatoire. On weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm, it hires its spaces for meetings, trainings, masterclasses and company privatizations. It has three named spaces: the Salon, the Garden and the Studio. Evenings are reserved for cultural events.
Seminars and company events
The venue sets a clear daily rhythm. From Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, its spaces are available for meetings, trainings, masterclasses and company privatizations. From 6 pm, the rooms are given over to culture: theatre classes, stand-up, acoustic concerts and game evenings. An organiser should plan a working day that ends before the evening programme begins, or discuss a later slot with the team.
The Salon is the main room. The venue describes it as a cosy space with an original design, suited to meetings, trainings and masterclasses. The Garden is a planted open space set up for comfortable work, and the venue also suggests it for an aperitif or a buffet for guests. The Studio, recently opened, is equipped to record audio and video podcasts, which suits a company producing its own content.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages do not present weddings. The venue lists concerts, masterclasses, theatre, stand-up and other events in its request form, and mentions book fairs and show recordings among past activities. A private reception such as a launch, an aperitif or a buffet is possible in the Garden according to the venue, and the team can be asked whether it can be adapted to a larger celebration.
Rooms and capacities
The site names three spaces and gives no capacity for any of them: the Salon, the Garden and the Studio. A capacity must therefore be requested for each, with the number of guests and the layout. The request form asks for the event type, date, time, expected number of participants and budget, and asks whether the venue should provide a caterer and handle ticketing.
Catering
The request form asks whether the venue should offer a catering service for the event, so a caterer can be arranged through the team. The Garden is described as suited to setting up a buffet. No menu or list of caterers is published.
History and setting
The venue presents itself as a crossroads of entrepreneurs and artists, mixing culture, well-being, creation and coworking. It runs a social club for members who have free access to the spaces, as well as an academy. It was created by Calixte Art Academy and Les Productions Prince Calixte. Its public program includes stand-up shows, concerts and podcast recordings, with tickets sold online.
