myCowork Beaubourg hosts seminars, kick-offs, training sessions, workshops, conferences, product launches and evening cocktails for up to 50 guests standing or 35 seated in its Merri space, with three meeting rooms for breakout groups of 7 to 20. The center occupies a listed building at 5 Rue du Cloître Saint-Merri, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, between the Centre Pompidou, the church of Saint-Merri and the Stravinsky fountain.
Seminars and company events
The Merri space is booked on its own, for a half day, a full day, several days or an evening, and the group has the room to itself from morning to night. The venue lists seminars, kick-offs, team meetings, professional training, workshops, conferences, round tables, press events, product launches, pop-up stores, afterworks, cocktails, team building, film shoots and evening classes. For a seminar with a plenary followed by workshops, the three meeting rooms in the basement serve as breakout rooms.
Multi-day bookings run from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. Evening events run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., with an optional extra hour until 11 p.m. A full day ends at 6 p.m., followed by an hour for clearing and cleaning. Recurring bookings and other time slots are quoted on request.
Rooms and capacities
The Merri space covers 100 square meters, fully glazed onto the Place Stravinsky, with daylight all day, its own entrance from the street and a terrace. The venue publishes layouts it says the room really holds: 50 for a standing cocktail, 35 in cabaret or theater style, 25 around one long table and 20 in a classroom layout. For around 40 guests or more, it recommends the standing format.
Three meeting rooms complete the space. Stravinski takes 14 to 20 people and has a projector. Niki seats 12 and Dali 7, both with an HDMI screen and flip chart. A one- or two-person room, Georges, is also on site. The Merri space comes with dedicated fiber internet, a video projector and a flip chart, and coffee and tea are available.
Catering
The venue offers catering options for a full day: a light or a hearty breakfast, a sweet break, tray meals with starter, main and dessert (vegetarian, fish, meat, farm or gluten-free menus), a cold buffet, and wine or champagne by the glass. Custom menus are possible. Organizers can also bring their own caterer at no extra charge.
History and setting
myCowork runs two coworking centers in central Paris: Beaubourg, and Montorgueil at 54 Rue Greneta in the 2nd arrondissement. Beaubourg, the second to open, offers coworking, private offices, meeting rooms and event hire in a listed building with a terrace. Both streets are pedestrian. When the Merri space is privatized, coworkers use a second entrance at 3 Rue des Juges Consuls. The Montorgueil center can also be hired for events in the evening and at weekends.
Getting there
Châtelet-Les Halles (RER A, B and D) is about five minutes on foot. Nearby metro stations are Rambuteau (line 11), Hôtel de Ville (line 1) and Châtelet (lines 1, 4, 7, 11 and 14), which links directly to the main Paris train stations. The center opens from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. at weekends.
