Friends Vaugirard hosts meetings, training sessions, co-owners' and association meetings, company drinks and small private receptions, for 5 to 25 people on weekdays and up to 40 at weekends. It is a single 70 m² room at 383 bis Rue de Vaugirard, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, close to the Porte de Versailles exhibition center. It is run by Friends, a small Paris company that rents event rooms and has a second address in the 14th arrondissement.
Seminars and company events
On weekdays the room is sold for meetings of 5 to 25 people, training courses and brainstorming sessions. It comes with a paperboard, a video projector, a TV screen and wifi, in a quiet room with daylight. The layout is set before you arrive: U-shape, block table, classroom or conference style. A break area can be used freely, and groups may bring their own snacks; break services can also be ordered. The room meets accessibility standards for people with reduced mobility.
Co-owners' and association general meetings can be booked by the hour, during the day or in the evening. For an evening event, the room is offered for company drinks and cocktails. Being a short ride from Porte de Versailles, it also works as a side room for a team exhibiting at a trade fair.
Weddings and receptions
At weekends the room is rented for private celebrations: receptions after a civil wedding, engagement parties and PACS celebrations for up to 40 guests, christenings and communions for up to 40, baby showers and children's birthdays for up to 35. Adult birthdays are held on Friday or Saturday evening. This is a city room for a small gathering after the town hall ceremony, not a wedding estate.
Rooms and capacities
There is one room of 70 m². Capacity depends on the format: 5 to 25 for a meeting on weekdays, up to 35 for a children's party and up to 40 for a weekend reception. Friends' second room, Friends Montparnasse, at 94 Rue de l'Ouest in the 14th, covers 110 m² in two spaces of about 60 m², with meetings for up to 30 and weekend receptions for up to 50, if your group outgrows Vaugirard.
Catering
There is no kitchen service on site. For meetings and events you can bring the caterer of your choice or use the caterers that Friends suggests for breaks. The break area is open to the group throughout the booking.
History and setting
The room is a modern, equipped space in a residential and business part of the 15th arrondissement, near Hôpital de Vaugirard and the Porte de Versailles. Friends works with companies of all sizes and with private clients, and lists its rooms on several meeting room platforms.
