Le Solaris hosts conferences and cocktails for up to 200 guests, study days and seminars for 100, and seated dinners for 150 in Paris, at 25 rue Boyer in the Ménilmontant area of the 20th arrondissement. The venue also stages weddings, shoots and private evenings. A dedicated project manager follows each event from the first briefing to the day itself.
Seminars and company events
The main room measures 180 m² with a ceiling between 6 and 7 meters and a glass roof. It can be set in theater, cabaret, workshop or trade show layouts. The venue states 200 people for a conference or cocktail, 100 for a study day or seminar, and 100 in cabaret style. A conference plus cocktail can reach 200 using Le Plateau, a complementary 200 m² loft on the floor above, run by an independent partner and reached by two staircases from the venue. The site suggests uses such as subcommittee rooms, a cocktail area, dressing rooms or a photo studio.
