MAISON.A VERSO, also called VERSO by Victoire, hosts company events for up to 250 guests at 52 rue de la Victoire in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. It offers a 224-seat auditorium, two reception spaces, seven modular rooms and a restaurant with a terrace, all inside the Paris Victoire business center.
Seminars and company events
The venue is run by MAISON.A, an event house that operates four sites around Paris and La Défense and describes itself as eco-responsible. Its teams cover meetings, team building, conferences, cocktail receptions and private evenings. Verso is built for professional gatherings: a forum, a product launch, a shareholder meeting or a company evening can run in the same building without changing address.
For plenary sessions, the auditorium seats 224 people on a gentle slope. It is soundproofed, air-conditioned and accessible to people with reduced mobility. Smaller groups can work in the Atelier, the Briefing room or the Créative room, then join the others for lunch or a drink in the reception areas.
Rooms and capacities
The Atrium is the largest space. It covers 300 square meters under a glass roof and takes up to 250 guests. The Winter Garden, a planted space of 234 square meters, takes 150. Two twin modular lounges can be used separately or together, for 100 to 150 people and up to 192 square meters in total.
La Verrière and its terrace seat 80 guests in a bright glazed room that opens onto the outdoor area. The Atelier suits 30 guests and has a lounge. The Briefing room holds 11 people on 30 square meters, and the Créative room is meant for working groups of seven.
Catering
Verso has its own restaurant and terrace, and the spaces are set up for standing cocktail dinners. MAISON.A presents its cooking as local and seasonal, prepared by a team of chefs, with a focus on plant-based dishes. Formats listed by the operator include cocktail dinners, buffets, receptions, gala dinners and business lunches.
Getting there
The site is in the Paris Victoire business center, close to Saint-Lazare station. Metro lines 12, 7, 9 and 8 serve the area, as does RER line E. Bus lines 26, 32, 42 and 43 stop nearby. Two public car parks are close: Indigo at 48 boulevard Haussmann and Interparking at 12-14 rue Chauchat.
History and setting
The building is a contemporary business center, and the glass roof over the Atrium and the planted Winter Garden give the interior a daylight feel that is unusual for central Paris. The official pages do not give a date or an architect for the building, so none is stated here.
Organisers can ask MAISON.A for an event at Verso or in a venue of their own choice, since the operator also plans events at a client's address. For a seminar with a plenary, breakout rooms, a lunch and an evening reception, the combination of auditorium, modular lounges and Atrium makes it possible to plan the whole day under one roof, close to the main transport hub of the 9th arrondissement. Group sizes from a dozen people in a briefing room to a full 250-guest reception are covered by the room list above, and the operator's event managers advise on layouts.
