Le Pavillon des Canaux can be hired for company events of 10 to 200 guests, either one room or the whole building, for an evening or a full day. It stands at 39 quai de la Loire in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, beside the Ourcq canal, and combines a restaurant, a wine bar, a coffee shop and a cultural agenda under one roof.
Seminars and company events
Private hire for companies is the main event offer of the venue. You can book a single room for a team meeting, a workshop or a client dinner, or take the entire pavilion for a product launch, an end-of-year party or a networking evening. The official text gives one range, 10 to 200 people, and does not publish a capacity room by room, so the layout and the headcount of each space are settled with the team once you describe your event.
Hire runs over an evening or over a day. That suits a morning workshop followed by lunch as well as a cocktail reception after work. The site lists a number of organisations among its past clients, from media and associations to transport and technology companies, which gives an idea of the corporate events held here.
Private individuals who plan a birthday or a farewell drink for 5 to 50 guests are directed to a booking platform. The team states that it does not take reservations for fewer than 10 people, so a small team gathering is better planned as a table in the restaurant.
Rooms and capacities
The pavilion is a house with several rooms, a hall under a glass roof that brings in daylight, and a coffee shop on the upper floor. The official site invites you to discover its spaces, but the pages available do not give room names or floor areas. What is stated is the span of the offer: one room at the smaller end, the whole building at the larger end, with 10 to 200 guests. Ask for the floor plan and for the seated and standing figures of each room when you send a request, and say whether you need a presentation area.
Catering
The kitchen is homemade and built on fresh, eco-responsible products. The wine bar serves a selection of natural wines and close references in red, white and rosé, plus sparkling bottles. Upstairs, the coffee shop serves hot drinks and homemade pastries, which can cover a welcome coffee or an afternoon break. The site does not say whether an outside caterer may be brought in, so confirm this before planning a formal seated dinner.
History and setting
The building has stood on the bank of the Ourcq canal for more than a century. It housed the home of the director of canal inspection, at a time when every lock was operated by hand. Today the interior combines raw materials, aged wood and the glass-roofed hall. The place presents itself as a convivial cultural third place run by Sinny & Ooko, and it keeps a public agenda of cultural events, so the atmosphere of a working neighborhood venue carries into private hire.
Getting there
The address is 39 quai de la Loire, 75019 Paris, on the canal side. The official site has a practical information page with details on how to reach the venue, and the team can advise your guests on the best route when your date is confirmed.
