MOON Creative Workspace can be hired privately for meetings, seminars, workshops, conferences, artistic team building and company evenings, for up to 30 people. The space is an arts and culture venue on the first floor of a 900-square-meter hall at 45 rue de la Compagnie du Midi, in the Amédée Saint-Germain district of Bordeaux, five minutes from Saint-Jean station.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists seven business formats: meetings, seminars, conferences, beforeworks, artistic team building, company evenings and other events. It can be booked by the hour, for a half day, for a full day or for an evening from 6:30 pm to midnight. Study-day packages for groups of 10 or more combine private use of the space with breakfast and lunch, as a half day or a full day.
The distinctive part of the offer is the art workshop. The team of artists can run a session in painting, mosaic, writing, drawing or linocut as part of a seminar, which turns a working day into a shared hands-on activity. A professional DJ can be booked for an evening. The space is modular, with professional equipment, and the team handles requests to measure; transport and parking help nearby are also listed.
Rooms and capacities
The private space takes up to 30 people. The site does not publish separate layouts or room sizes; set-ups for a meeting, a conference or a standing evening are agreed with the team. The venue also runs a café with 30 workspaces, a library and changing exhibitions, which are part of the setting when the space is not fully booked.
Outside private hire, the venue is open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday, 10 am to 5:30 pm, and closed on Sunday and Monday.
Catering
Breakfast is served on site with hot drinks, fruit juice and pastries. Lunch is ordered on quote from the six food counters on the ground floor of the hall, where guests can also eat. A bar package gives access to a fridge, crockery and cutlery for the group. The hall also has a bar with a terrace.
History and setting
The building dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. It was a railway workshop where locomotives were repaired and maintained, and it keeps its metal frame and brick halls. The old water tower of the Saint-Jean rail workshops, known as Les Citernes, has been listed as a historic monument since 2018. The hall, called L'Atelier des Citernes, now mixes food counters, offices, cultural events and a conference room under the original iron structure, with plenty of plants.
MOON was founded by Robin Gaudillat, a Bordeaux visual artist and art teacher, as a place to learn, create and meet around art. It runs classes for children and adults, a shared studio for artists and a program of events and exhibitions.
Getting there
The venue is five minutes on foot from Bordeaux Saint-Jean station, which makes it easy to reach for teams coming by high-speed train from Paris or elsewhere. The Amédée Saint-Germain district connects directly to the station and, via the Palombe footbridge, to the Armagnac district. Hotels are close by. Bordeaux-Mérignac airport serves the city.
