Pavillon Passy

Pavillon Passy is a hall in the 16th arrondissement of Paris that organisers hire for private receptions. It takes standing cocktail dinners up to 120 guests and seated dinners up to 80. The address is 6 rue Faustin Hélie, close to the town hall of the 16th.

Seminars and company events The official text speaks of private events and does not mention meetings or conferences, so treat this venue as a place for company dinners, cocktail receptions, end-of-year parties and similar gatherings. The hall is described as modular, so the room can be arranged for a standing reception or for seated tables. If you plan a presentation, ask what screen and projection equipment is available, since the page lists kitchen, bar, tables, chairs, buffets, sound and lighting but no video equipment.

Rooms and capacities The venue is a single human-sized room that can be reshaped, in the words of the owner, for a wide range of requests. Two figures are stated: up to 120 people for a cocktail dinner and up to 80 for a seated dinner. The hall is hired dry, which means the space and its equipment are rented without food and drink service.

The equipment included in the hire is a kitchen, a bar, tables, chairs, buffets, sound and lighting. For musical entertainment, the hall has the installations and a professional acoustic for DJs and musicians, and the team can suggest artists.

Catering Because the hire is dry, you bring a caterer. The venue puts organisers in touch with partner caterers, including caterers who serve kosher cuisine. The kitchen on site is part of the equipment, which lets the caterer prepare and finish dishes in the building. Ask the team whether you may bring your own caterer or whether you must pick from the partner list.

History and setting The building is described as one of the oldest Russian cabarets in the capital. It was long known as the Nikita, then reopened in 2015 as Pavillon Passy after a renovation. The owner, Alexandre, has worked in the events trade for more than 15 years and runs the venue as a family business with his team. The hall has hosted private events for several years, according to its own text.

Getting there The hall is in the 16th arrondissement, near the town hall of the 16th, in the Passy district. Métro line 9 serves the area, and the stations La Muette and Rue de la Pompe are the nearest ones to check.
