ABEL14 offers a 600 m² event space in a former Paris cinema, hired in full for brand presentations, private events, fashion shows, showcases and company evenings. It sits in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, near Gare de Lyon and the Bercy district. The official site does not state a guest capacity, so the number of people depends on the layout you agree with the team.
Seminars and company events
The event space is aimed at brand and company formats rather than classroom seminars. The site lists brand presentations, private events, content production, fashion shows, showcases, and partner or VIP experiences. Its home page adds concerts, brand activations, company evenings and galas. The venue is fully hireable, so your group has the space to itself.
The team offers help with the configuration, the production and the technical needs of a project. The space has technical infrastructure for staging and for filming, which suits an event that will also be recorded.
Rooms and capacities
The event space measures 600 m² in a former cinema hall. The ceiling is 5.5 m high, and 200 m² are set aside for backstage and production. The layout is modular, so the room can be arranged as a runway, a stage with audience, a reception floor or a showcase set.
ABEL14 also runs two film and photo studios in the 12th arrondissement. The Big Studio is a 400 m² stage with a three-sided cyclorama, generous ceiling height, professional lighting and sound, direct vehicle access and a technical team on site. The Small Studio is a former workshop of 150 m² at the back of a courtyard, used for castings, fittings, interviews and photo shoots. The site presents the studios for productions, and only the event space is described as a hire for guests, so confirm with the team whether a studio can host your event.
History and setting
ABEL14 has been working in Paris since 2005. Its two sites are described as inside the city, a few minutes from Bercy and Gare de Lyon. The event space occupies a building that used to be a cinema, which explains the tall volume and the room for a stage and backstage. The site does not say whether the event space shares the address of the studios, so check the exact address of your event when you receive the quote.
Catering
The official pages do not describe catering, bar service or an approved caterer list. Ask the team what is allowed, and who handles food and drink for your format, before you fix a date.
Getting there
The location is described as strategic: near Gare de Lyon and the Accor Arena in Bercy, and 12 minutes by metro from Châtelet. Guests arriving by train at Gare de Lyon are close, and the Accor Arena district makes the venue practical for an evening around an event at the arena. Describe your date, your format and your expected guest number when you contact the team.
