Maison de la Mutualité is an event venue at 24 rue Saint-Victor in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, built around a theater of 1,725 seats. It hosts conventions, festivals, roadshows, fashion shows and evenings, with more than 250 events a year according to the official site. Its seating can slide away to free a floor of 800 m², so the same room serves a plenary session in the morning and a gala dinner that night.
Seminars and company events
The Theater is the reference room for large corporate gatherings. It is air-conditioned, fitted with recent staging technology and a control room, and has a stage of 220 m² that keeps speakers close to the audience. In theater layout it takes from 350 to 1,725 people, and in cabaret layout from 180 to 550. The seats are split between 1,133 in the orchestra and 592 on the balcony. Total floor area is 790 m².
For smaller meetings, the Espaces Affaires offer is presented as an all-inclusive solution for professional meetings, with technical equipment and catering. It is run by the operator, GL events, and is sold alongside other Paris venues such as the Palais Brongniart. The site also lists the Espace Maubert and the Salons Rive gauche among its spaces, without giving figures, so request their capacities directly.

Weddings and receptions
The official site presents corporate and public events, such as galas, fashion shows and launches, and does not offer weddings. Private receptions are possible only in the sense that the open floor of 800 m² is used for receptions and gala dinners. Ask the team whether a private celebration fits.
Catering
Food is prepared on site by the venue's chef and his team, with options from gastronomic creations to buffets. The Espaces Affaires offer is paired with the event catering expertise of Cuisiniers & Grandes Maisons and with restaurants run by Alain Ducasse. The site also publishes a Think Green page and a food approach called Better Food for a Better World.
History and setting
The site calls the house an incubator of ideas since 1931. It sits on the Left Bank, in the Latin Quarter, close to the Seine and the Jardin des Plantes. The operator says the venue adapts its look to each request, like a film set, and that its teams offer turnkey solutions for organizers.
Getting there
The venue is at 24 rue Saint-Victor, 75005 Paris. The closest metro station is Maubert-Mutualité, a few steps from the entrance, and the Gare d'Austerlitz and Gare de Lyon are within a short ride. The official site has an access page and a quote form for organizers.
