L'Inaperçu is a bistronomic restaurant, photography bookshop and gallery at 65 rue Beaubourg in the Marais, Paris 3rd, with several spaces that can be hired for professional and private events. A private upstairs salon seats 14, the bookshop space about 26, and the restaurant about 35 indoors and 20 on the terrace. A 110 m² showroom is also available.
Seminars and company events
The official private hire page lists meetings, business meals, seminars, study days, presentations, cocktails, press conferences and photo shoots. The most compact format is the private salon on the upper floor, with 14 seats around a large marble table and period photography posters on the walls. It is the natural choice for a board lunch or a client dinner.
For a larger group, the restaurant covers roughly 60 m² and seats about 35 indoors, with 20 more places on the sunny terrace. The bookshop can also be cleared for a dinner: it covers 60 m² and takes about 26 place settings, which gives a setting built around photobooks rather than a standard meeting room. For a product presentation or a pop-up, the showroom offers 110 m², with 28 m² on the ground floor and 82 m² upstairs, linked by a staircase and air-conditioned.
The site does not describe a plenary room or presentation equipment for the restaurant spaces, so ask what can be provided. An optional 22 m² studio connected to the showroom includes a video projector and can be turned into an office or small meeting room.
Weddings and receptions
The site mentions private celebrations in general terms but does not present a wedding offer, so this page treats the venue as a place for dinners, cocktails and receptions rather than a wedding venue. Smaller family or anniversary dinners fit the private salon or the bookshop.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant has about 35 seats inside and 20 on the terrace, on roughly 60 m². The bookshop dinner format has about 26 covers on 60 m². The private salon seats 14. The showroom is 110 m² over two levels, and the optional studio is 22 m². Standing capacities are not published.
Accommodation
Two apartments can be rented on the same premises: a T2 and a studio. The studio is on the first floor of a quiet building without an elevator, and it has a fold-away double bed, a sofa, a dining corner, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a video projector with home cinema and a washer-dryer. These suit a visiting speaker or a small team staying a few nights.
Catering
The restaurant serves bistronomic cooking made with fresh seasonal produce. It is open in the evening at present, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., which the site describes as temporary hours, so confirm daytime service when you plan a lunch.
Getting there
The address is 65 rue Beaubourg. The private salon is a short walk from the Arts et Métiers metro stop, and the Marais is also served by Rambuteau and Hôtel de Ville. Event requests go through the contact address on the private hire page.
