The Babel Community in Montigny-le-Bretonneux can host company events and private celebrations for 30 to 200 guests. The venue is a restaurant of more than 340 m² with a terrace, a closed 50 m² workshop called L'Atelier and an equipped meeting room, all in the town centre of Montigny-le-Bretonneux, in the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines area, 30 km from Paris.
Seminars and company events
The venue accepts seminars, business lunches, product launches, conferences, company parties and networking evenings. A buyout starts at 30 guests. You can hire the whole restaurant or only part of it: the main room, the terrace, a terrace corner or the workshop.
The restaurant is fitted for presentations. The official site lists design furniture, a microphone, a large screen, speakers, Wi-Fi and lighting scenarios. A team on site welcomes your guests and follows the event.
L'Atelier is a closed room of 50 m² that can be set up for a conference, a theatre layout or a standing cocktail. It has a stage, a large screen, a video projector and a wired microphone. It suits a half-day seminar, a team lunch or a small after-work event.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant also takes private events: weddings, wine receptions, christenings, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties and gala evenings. The terrace is used for receptions in the warmer months, which is why the seated and standing capacities change with the season.
Rooms and capacities
The restaurant seats 160 guests at tables in summer and 80 in winter. For a standing dinner cocktail it holds 200 guests in summer and 100 in winter. The terrace is part of the summer figures.
L'Atelier seats 32 at tables and takes 30 for a dinner cocktail. The Medium Room is a meeting room for up to 12 people, rented by the hour, the half-day or the day. It has a UHD screen, a paperboard and Wi-Fi.
Accommodation
The building also houses a hotel and a coliving offer. The venue lists accommodation as an option you can add for your guests. The details of the rooms are not given on the pages we read, so ask for the current availability.
Catering
Catering is handled in house by the restaurant's chef. Menus and formulas are tailored for lunches, dinners and cocktails, using fresh seasonal products. Cooking uses a wood-fired MIBRASA oven, which gives the kitchen its smoked, grilled style. Drinks packages cover soft drinks, wines, cocktails and champagne. Show-cooking workshops can be added. Meeting groups can also order lunches and coffee breaks delivered to the meeting room.
History and setting

Other events run there during the year, such as after-work evenings, paint bar workshops, live concerts and quiz nights.
Getting there
