Quai Liberté hosts company events from 10 to 300 guests on the barge Thalassa, moored at Port de Javel Haut in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The venue offers four private spaces, a terrace area of 1,000 m² and views of the Seine, the Statue of Liberty replica and the Eiffel Tower. It is both a restaurant and an events venue, and around 300 professional events were held there in 2025.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists study days, seminars, cocktail receptions, business lunches and dinners, trade shows, product launches and filming among its formats. For seminars it names executive and strategy meetings, team-cohesion days, annual kick-offs and CSR seminars. Rooms can be arranged in theatre, U-shape, round tables or boardroom layouts. The team provides sound, projection screens, a microphone and a conference setup, and a day can continue with lunch, a cocktail reception or an evening. Companies that have held events there include Vinci, Caisse des Dépôts, SNCF and YellowKorner.

Four spaces are available. The planted riverside terrace, called the Guinguette, covers 350 m² and is open from May to October: 200 guests in theatre layout, 300 for a cocktail. The restaurant covers 150 m² and holds 100 in theatre layout, 150 for a cocktail and 25 in a meeting layout.

Catering
Organisers choose between the venue's own restaurant, with a chef and brigade, and its catering service, which offers savoury and sweet pieces, mini hot and cold dishes and mixed boards. Coffee breaks, a lunch in the restaurant or a lunch buffet can be arranged, and animations can be added.
History and setting
The barge Thalassa gave its name to a well-known French television programme. Today it is run as a social-impact venue: about half of the team are people leaving prison, trained in catering with the association Wake up Café. The venue holds the Beevent label. Many organisers choose it so that their event counts toward their CSR policy.
Getting there
Quai Liberté is at Port de Javel Haut, 75015 Paris, facing the Eiffel Tower. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday, for lunch and dinner. Ask the events team for the best arrival route for coaches and for guests with reduced mobility.
