La Fabrique Générale is an event venue of 350 m² on two levels at 2 bis rue Léon Cosnard in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. It is hired in full for a single event at a time, so a group never meets another party. The official site offers three formats: a seminar day for up to 60 people, a company evening or afterwork, and a seated lunch or dinner for 30 guests.
Seminars and company events
The seminar day runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for up to 60 people, with breakfast and lunch included. A typical program starts with a welcome coffee, a plenary session under the glass roof with a control desk and tested wireless microphones, a morning break and group workshops. Lunch is served at the table, then the afternoon resumes with workshops or a round table. The room can be reconfigured in 10 minutes between two formats, and key talks can be recorded. A closing cocktail with a spritz bar and local charcuterie boards is available as an option. The same team also takes association meetings and general assemblies.
Rooms and capacities
The ground floor holds La Verrière, the main hall with a metal frame and a zenithal glass roof, used for plenary sessions, cabaret, U-shaped layouts, dinners or standing cocktails. Le Salon, also on the ground floor, is a bar area with banquettes and vintage motorcycles for welcome, breaks and networking. In the basement, La Salle is an activity space for a workshop of about 15 people, a sub-committee, an F1 simulator, virtual reality or karaoke. The site also mentions a mezzanine, a cabinet of curiosities and a podcast studio. Seated lunch or dinner has 30 places. Capacity for a standing evening is not published.
Catering
Everything is made in-house with seasonal products from local craftspeople. Breakfast includes artisan pastries and coffee from a Paris roaster. Lunch offers two starters, two main courses and two desserts, served at the table. Cocktail and buffet formats come with passed trays and buffet tables. Vegetarian, halal, kosher, gluten-free and vegan menus are available at no extra charge for seminars. An afterwork features cheese and charcuterie boards cut to order, vegetarian spreads and focaccia.
History and setting
The venue is an atypical former workshop with a glass roof, a mezzanine and vintage motorcycles. The official site gives its coordinates in the 17th arrondissement of Paris and describes a warm, quiet atmosphere.
