The Parc des Expositions Chorus can host conventions, trade fairs, product launches, conferences, seminars, corporate shows and concerts, with Hall A taking up to 6,000 standing guests and Hall B up to 3,000. In all, the site offers 16,000 m² of adaptable space, including 8,280 m² outdoors. It is the exhibition center of Vannes, in Brittany, at 8 rue Daniel Gilard.
Seminars and company events
The Chorus positions itself as a venue for business tourism and professional events in the Vannes area. It hosts conventions, debates, product launches, conferences, seminars and corporate entertainment as well as large public exhibitions. The organizing team offers complete follow-up of a project, from the first design to delivery on the day, with technical infrastructure and logistics on site.
Its calendar shows the range: a professional event for Enedis, a private meal for a retirees' association, trade fairs on housing, studies, chocolate and gastronomy, and shows and concerts open to the public. For a company, the halls suit a convention with exhibition stands, a staff gathering with a stage, an evening event after a day of plenary sessions, or a product launch for clients and partners.
Companies can also exhibit at the trade fairs organized by the Chorus itself. The site states about 350,000 visitors a year across some 50 events, and 30 years of experience. Online ticketing is available for public events.
Rooms and capacities
Hall A covers 3,704 m² and takes up to 6,000 people standing. Hall B covers 1,764 m² and takes up to 3,000 people standing. Outdoor areas add 8,280 m². Seated capacities by layout (theatre, banquet, classroom) are not published on the site, nor are meeting rooms for breakout sessions. A downloadable information pack is offered to organizers, and the team answers by phone or through its contact page.
Catering
The official site does not describe a caterer or catering rules. Ask the organizing team whether an approved caterer is required and how food service works in each hall.
History and setting
The park is managed by Le Chorus, a subsidiary of the SPL Golfe du Morbihan Vannes Tourisme, a local public company that runs it under a public service delegation from the City of Vannes. Its two stated missions are to organize events for the public and for professionals, and to host events organized by others.
The operator has committed the park to a quality and corporate social responsibility approach based on the guidelines of the ISO 20121 standard for sustainable event management. The policy covers waste management and its impact, staff and stakeholder well-being, events open to all audiences, hybrid event formats and responsible purchasing with suppliers. This can help a company that has to report on the environmental footprint of its events.
The same public company runs the tourist office of the Golfe du Morbihan, which can assist groups and seminars with accommodation and visits in the area.
Getting there
The address is 8 rue Daniel Gilard, 56000 Vannes. The park has its own free, secure car park, which matters for events where many guests arrive by car. Vannes is on the main rail line from Paris to Quimper; ask the team about shuttle options between the station and the park for a large group.
