Les Caves des Halles is a meeting venue made of three vaulted medieval cellars in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. It holds 2 to 19 people over 75 m² and is rented as a whole for study days, seminars, training sessions and client meetings. The address is 18 rue du Roule, 100 m from the Samaritaine and 200 m from Châtelet-Les Halles station.
Seminars and company events
The cellars were fitted out by wine merchants for professional events. Organizers use them for study days, informal meetings, training courses, a colleague's arrival or farewell, and contract signings. The operator presents the place as a discreet setting to receive VIP clients, and names its modularity as its main strength.
The whole space goes to one group at a time. It can be booked by the half-day, by the week or by the month, which suits a recurring training program as well as a single workshop. The operator also describes it as a training room for professional continuing education bodies and for company meetings in any sector.
Rooms and capacities
The site describes three vaulted cellars: two rooms for study and receptions, and a cosy lounge. Together they cover 75 m² and can be rearranged as needed. Two layouts are shown, U-shape and theatre. The stated range is 2 to 19 people, so this is a venue for working groups, not for a plenary session. A group above 19 people should look at another address or split into sessions.
Equipment listed on the site: wifi, paperboard, projector and projection screen, portable speaker, refrigerator, microwave, wine cellars and tasting glasses. A brochure with the layouts can be downloaded from the site.
Catering
The site does not describe a catering service. It states that the operators are wine merchants with more than 800 French and international wine references and a range of spirits, and that tasting glasses are provided. Ask the team whether wine can be served during a session and whether an outside caterer may deliver.
History and setting
The cellars are described as medieval vaulted cellars in the historic center of Paris, in the Les Halles district. They sit below a wine shop, and the shop is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 8 pm all year. The site gives no construction date, so none is stated here.
Getting there
Châtelet-Les Halles station is 200 m away and connects metro lines 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14 with the RER A and B. Three car parks are close: Forum des Halles at 300 m, Q-Park at 200 m and Louvre-Samaritaine at 300 m. Reservations are taken by phone on 01 42 86 94 62 or by email.
