Madame Claude hosts team evenings, birthdays and private karaoke parties for groups from 8 guests, with a private room for up to 20 and a ground-floor dining room that seats 80. It is a French brasserie at 2 rue Berger in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, a few steps from the Forum des Halles, and the team can privatize a space or the whole venue on request.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists company evenings next to birthdays and bachelorette parties as a main use of the venue. A team can reserve a large table for the evening karaoke, take the private Poppy room, or ask for one of the bigger spaces. The brasserie opens at 7 a.m. and serves without a break, so a group can also start the day with breakfast between 7:00 and 11:30 a.m. and continue with lunch or dinner in the same place. This suits informal formats: an end-of-project dinner, a welcome evening for new colleagues, an after-work with a sing-along. It is not a plenary venue, and the site does not describe presentation equipment, so a seminar with screens needs to be discussed with the team first.
Weddings and receptions
The site does not offer weddings. It does present the venue for birthdays, bachelorette parties and private celebrations, which can run as a dinner followed by karaoke. Organisers of a larger family reception should ask the team whether a full privatization fits the date and the guest count.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives a seat count for each space. The ground-floor room seats 80, the mezzanine 30 and the garden 30. The Poppy room is a private karaoke room for 8 to 20 guests, decorated in a 1970s disco style. Three terraces seat 40, 60 and 35. Every evening from 9:30 p.m., the stage with disco balls runs on the ground floor and the mezzanine, with a host who calls guests up in turn. A group that wants to sing among themselves, without the rest of the room, should book Poppy.
Catering
Catering comes from the brasserie kitchen, which serves continuously from morning to late evening. The site publishes menus for the restaurant and the karaoke evenings. It does not describe a separate group menu or an outside caterer option, so choices for a set menu are settled by email or phone.
History and setting
The decor mixes old Paris touches with the 1970s. The venue is open every day of the year, from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m., and until 4 a.m. from Thursday to Saturday. Besides the rooms, it has a hidden garden and three terraces, which gives a group options for a pre-event drink in good weather.
Getting there
Madame Claude is in the Châtelet-Les Halles district, at 2 rue Berger, 75001 Paris, close to the Forum des Halles. To ask for a space, write to the team or call with the date, the number of guests and a short description of the event. The team then proposes the space that fits the group.
