La Clairière can host company drinks, evening receptions, conferences, meetings and group wellness workshops, for up to 70 guests at a cocktail or 30 seated when the whole venue is hired. Its Salle Bleue takes 25 people around a meeting table. La Clairière is a beauty and wellness center at 5 place Johan Barthold Jongkind in Pantin, just north-east of Paris.
Seminars and company events
Companies can hire the entire 170 square meters for an evening or a conference, or only the Salle Bleue for a meeting. The Salle Bleue is fitted with a screen and video projector and seats about twenty for meetings and talks.
The team also runs wellness sessions for groups of up to 40 people. They last two and a half to three hours and mix individual treatments and massages with group phases such as a yoga class or guided meditation, a concert, and a tasting of cold-pressed juices and raw food. This format fits a team day, a reward for staff or the second half of a seminar.
For companies that prefer to stay in their own offices, La Clairière designs pop-up wellness days on site, with massage stands, beauty treatments, a sale of wellness objects and natural cosmetics, and a juice bar. These are staffed by its network of soft-medicine practitioners, massage therapists, naturopathic beauticians and teachers of yoga, Pilates and qi gong. A brochure for companies can be downloaded from the official site.

Catering
An organic caterer can be arranged on site, with refined plant-based cooking made from organic ingredients. In daily use, the café works as a tearoom with a juice bar serving cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juices, savory snacks and homemade pastries, to eat in, on the terrace or to take away. The café is open on weekdays and Saturday.
History and setting
The founders set out to create a clearing in the middle of an urban area, as the name says, with a holistic approach to well-being based on the principles of naturopathy. The center gathers four activities under one roof: an institute offering beauty treatments, massages, detox programs and consultations in naturopathy, sophrology, reflexology, shiatsu, hypnosis and Ayurveda; a studio for yoga, Pilates and prenatal and children's classes, in a room with a view of the water; an organic shop with natural cosmetics, bulk vegetable oils, floral waters and essential oils; and the café. The setting is calm and full of daylight, at the water's edge.
The venue also takes private events such as birthdays and parties with family or friends, on the same day, half-day or evening basis.
Getting there
The address is 5 place Johan Barthold Jongkind, 93500 Pantin, in Seine-Saint-Denis. Bookings for events go through the person in charge of private hire, by phone or email. The institute is open Monday to Saturday, and the center's opening hours are listed on the official site.
