Seminars and company events
The venue was built for professional events only, and it shows in the layout. All meeting rooms are on the same floor, each with a lounge area in front of it for welcome, coffee breaks or a cocktail, and access control so a group can take its breaks without interruption. Every space has professional projection, acoustic treatment, air conditioning and dimmable lighting, and wifi is included. One contact person handles rooms, catering and equipment and is present on the day. The whole venue can be booked privately.
The team reports 243 events and more than 10,000 guests in 2024.

History and setting
L-Évènements opened in early 2016. Its founder, Charlotte Barbier, worked eight years in events at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris before returning to Brittany to create a venue for business tourism in Rennes. The interior was designed by the founder with a Morbihan design firm. The venue has no accommodation; hotels in Rennes are a short drive away.
Getting there
The address is Bâtiment TALENZ, 20 rue des Loges, 35135 Chantepie. The Porte des Loges exit of the Rennes ring road is 200 meters away. Bus lines C1 and 13 link the venue to Rennes station in about 15 minutes and to Rennes airport in about 45 minutes. An outdoor car park of 80 spaces is on site, with other car parks nearby.
