The Péniche Espace Carnot, moored in Saint-Cloud, hosts seminars and meetings for up to 100 people and receptions for up to 150. It is a floating reception space of 175 m² on the Seine, facing the Bois de Boulogne, on two air-conditioned levels with a terrace. The barge stays at the quay and does not sail.
Seminars and company events
The barge was fully redesigned in 2016 and is offered for seminars and meetings of up to 100 people. It is equipped with wifi, video equipment and seminar material. Hours are adjustable, and the hire is exclusive, so guests have the whole boat. A turnkey service with a caterer can be added, and outside catering is possible under conditions that the operator sets. For company evenings, the operator lists a wide range of entertainment: DJ, casino, orchestra, photo booth, close-up magic, karaoke and hypnosis.
Weddings and receptions
Receptions can reach 150 guests. The operator presents the barge for private and professional gatherings, with exclusive hire for the guests and personalised hours. The official page does not mention weddings by name, so couples should ask whether a wedding reception is accepted on board.
Rooms and capacities
The first level covers 80 m² and the second level covers 90 m². A terrace adds 25 m². In total the reception space measures 175 m². The official page gives 100 people for seminars and meetings and 150 for receptions. A technical sheet attached to the same page lists 50 seated places and 60 cocktail places, which look like a different layout, so check which figure applies to your format. The barge is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Catering
The operator offers a turnkey service with a custom gastronomic caterer. Outside catering is possible under certain conditions. Services listed on the page include gastronomy, entertainment, audiovisual equipment, on-board staff and mooring.
