La Commune in Lyon can be hired whole for up to 700 guests or by space for groups of 25 to 280. The venue is a food court and cultural space at 3 Rue Pré-Gaudry in the Gerland district, with five modular spaces and a catering offer built around its resident chefs.
Seminars and company events
Company events are the core of the privatization offer. The venue lists conferences, screenings, team building, tastings and evening receptions as typical uses. Professional sound and lighting are part of the full venue, and the Lieu-Dit has its own giant screen, which makes it the natural choice for a plenary session or a product presentation. High-speed fiber WiFi covers the site.
Two booking formats exist. The full venue covers 1,500 m² and is presented as the option for large events, with a complete kitchen and a catering service. Partial hire lets an organizer pick one or several of the five spaces, with equipment included for each space and custom options on request.
Rooms and capacities
Le Lieu-Dit is a fully equipped room with a 6 by 4 meter screen, sound, lighting and access to the patio. It suits conferences, screenings and small evening events.
La Bodega has a large stage, a screen, modular furniture and direct access to the bar. It works for lively events by day or night.
Le Patio is an open-air space of 60 m² for up to 40 guests, used for cocktails, lunches or breaks between sessions.
Le Caviste covers 40 m² facing the wine bar, with high seating, and fits tastings and extended aperitifs.
Le Jardin is an enclosed terrace with shaded areas, connected directly to the Bodega. It is meant for team building, outdoor activities and summer evenings.
Catering
Three formats are offered. With the prepaid card, the organizer credits an amount onto an individual QR code, and each guest then orders freely at the food stalls and the bar, food court style. For a cocktail, the eight chefs each adapt their menu into a quote-based selection of twelve pieces cooked on site. For welcome sessions and breaks, the chefs prepare sweet or savory bites to go with specialty coffee roasted in Lyon.
The bar is tailored to each event, with one or several bartenders dedicated to it. Cocktails, soft drinks, wine and beer are on offer, the beers coming from French craft breweries and the wines from Rhône-Alpes growers.
Getting there
La Commune stands at 3 Rue Pré-Gaudry, 69007 Lyon, in Gerland, south of the city center. A second site operates in Saint-Étienne, so make sure your request names the Lyon venue. The venue provides a brochure with the plan of its spaces.
