Le Shack hosts team meetings, client workshops, seminars, press conferences, showrooms and evening events, in twelve rooms that take from 4 to 40 people, with a restaurant and bars on site for meals and receptions. The venue occupies 1,500 square meters of former printing works in a quiet cul-de-sac at 4 impasse Sandrié, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, a short walk from the Opéra.
Seminars and company events
The largest rooms, George (up to 20) and Le Playground (up to 40), can be set as a plenary, cabaret, islands, U-shape or boardroom. Honoré seats 14 around a table, and a run of smaller rooms covers committee meetings, interviews and breakout groups. Rooms are booked from 9 am to 6 pm. Half-day and full-day bookings go through the meetings team, and short hourly slots are arranged on site at the bar. A meeting can be booked for one hour, two hours or the whole day.
For larger formats, the whole place can be privatized. The team lists showrooms and pop-up stores dressed in a brand's colors, film and photo shoots, press conferences, hackathons and company parties. For a launch or a party, the team handles food, bar, entertainment and music. Small cocktail gatherings can take place in Les dieux ont soif, a discreet bar with a blues mood, with sharing plates, a dinner-style aperitif or house cocktails.
Le Shack also rents private offices for 3 to 15 people and runs a membership with preferential meeting room terms. Wellness classes are open to the public.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting rooms carry first names or playful labels. Le Playground takes 40 and George 20, both with five layouts. Honoré takes 14. Alphonse and Théophile take 8 each at a table. La Volière takes 10 at high tables, Le Shackstore 10 between high tables and lounge seating, and the Dining Room 10 at a table. Anatole takes 6. Marcel, La Vie d'artiste and Le Perchoir are lounge corners for 4 with armchairs and a coffee table. The capacity of the whole venue for a standing event is not published, so ask the team for your format.
Catering
The restaurant is open Monday to Friday. Breakfast runs from 8 to 10:30 am, and laptops are welcome in the restaurant until 11 am. Lunch is served under the large glass roof, with seasonal cooking. In the afternoon, screens are kept to dedicated areas and the bar runs a happy hour from 3 to 8 pm. From 6:30 pm the kitchen moves to sharing plates, large desserts and signature cocktails. Meeting groups can take their lunch in the restaurant between sessions.
History and setting
The building once housed the Calmann-Lévy printing works, and Le Shack attributes its structure to Gustave Eiffel. The interior is deliberately informal: yellow and blue walls, guitars, murals and a mix of work, food and wellness areas. A father and daughter with backgrounds in hospitality, leisure and digital created the concept as a third place between home and office. Le Shack is open from 8 am to midnight on weekdays and closed on weekends, so plan a private event on a weekday evening or ask about weekend options.
Getting there
The entrance to impasse Sandrié is at 3 rue Auber. Step-free access is through 9 rue Scribe. The Auber RER A station and the Opéra metro station are a few minutes away on foot, and Saint-Lazare station is within walking distance. Pets are not admitted.
