Event spaces for every occasion

The strength of the Laboratoire Charles V lies in the complementary nature of its spaces. It allows you to create a comprehensive event programme: conferences, breakout sessions, collaborative workshops, networking, cocktail receptions or content production – all within a single venue.

The Lounge – 150 m²

Open, light-filled and welcoming, the Lounge is the perfect space for hosting events and socialising.

Its large floor-to-ceiling windows provide plenty of natural light, whilst its flexible layout allows for a variety of set-ups: cocktail receptions, buffets, networking, speeches or presentations.

Capacity:

• 100 people for a cocktail reception
• 65 people in theatre-style seating
• 40 people for a meeting or dinner

The Lounge is particularly well-suited to after-work events, product launches, corporate events, showrooms, presentations and networking occasions.

The Learning Centre – 200 m²

Beneath a large glass roof, the Learning Centre offers a spectacular space bathed in natural overhead light. Work tables, lounge areas, more private alcoves and open spaces allow for a variety of uses to coexist within the same environment.

Capacity:

• 100 people for a cocktail reception
• 80 people in theatre-style seating
• 20 people for a meeting or dinner

It is particularly well-suited to conferences, workshops, speeches, collaborative events, presentations, networking and showrooms.

The Learning Centre Extension – 90 m²

As an extension of the Learning Centre, the Learning Centre Extension is a bright and flexible space, fitted with colourful, movable furniture. Theatre-style, classroom-style, island-style or circle-style: its layout can be easily adapted to suit the format of your event.

• Up to 70 people for a cocktail reception, 50 in theatre-style seating or 40 for a meeting or dinner, and is particularly suitable for seminars, plenary sessions, training courses, workshops, presentations and collaborative working sessions.

The Learning Centre and its extension can also be combined to create an event space capable of accommodating up to 170 people.

A 126-seat amphitheatre

For events requiring a dedicated speaking area, the Laboratoire Charles V features a 162 m² amphitheatre with 126 seats, plus 4 dedicated spaces for people with reduced mobility. Its tiered layout ensures good visibility, whilst its built-in facilities include a large screen, video projection and stage lighting.

What makes it special?

The seats swivel, allowing participants to turn easily to work or discuss in small groups without leaving the auditorium. A space particularly well-suited to conferences, keynote speeches, plenary sessions, presentations, seminars, screenings and corporate events.

The Foyer: networking and informal gatherings

Directly connected to the amphitheatre, the 129 m² Foyer provides a natural extension of the experience before, during or after a conference. Exposed stonework, historic vaults, lounge seating and sophisticated lighting lend it a warm atmosphere that contrasts with the venue’s more contemporary spaces.

With a capacity of 70 people for a cocktail reception, it is ideal for welcoming participants, coffee breaks, networking, cocktail receptions, exhibitions or activity areas.

Meeting rooms for working in small groups

Spread over three floors, the meeting rooms complement the larger spaces with more intimate settings. Ranging in size from 17 to 46 m², they can accommodate, depending on the layout, between 10 and 35 people for a cocktail reception and up to 30 people for a meeting.

Screens, connectivity, ergonomic furniture and natural light make these rooms ideal for organising meetings, board meetings, training sessions, workshops, collaborative sessions or breakout workshops.

Their layout also makes it easy to create multi-room itineraries, with several sessions taking place simultaneously.

Outdoor spaces in the heart of Paris

The Laboratoire Charles V also features two outdoor spaces that add a whole new dimension to your event.

The Terrace – 98 m²

Directly adjoining the Lounge, the terrace can accommodate up to 65 people for a cocktail reception, 50 in theatre-style seating, or 40 for a meeting or dinner. Its modular furniture makes it ideal for organising networking breaks, cocktail receptions, outdoor workshops, after-work gatherings or moments of relaxation between sessions.

The Cour d’Honneur – 274 m²

With its façades blending contemporary architecture and heritage brick buildings, the Cour d’Honneur offers a distinctive outdoor setting, sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city. Fully paved and directly connected to the Lounge, it can accommodate up to 165 people for a cocktail reception.

It can be used for cocktail receptions, after-work events, product launches, brand activations, networking, event set-ups or hybrid indoor/outdoor formats.

The LP Studio: create your content on site

Another unique feature of the Laboratoire Charles V is the LP Studio, a professional space entirely dedicated to audio, video and digital formats. With a capacity of 5 to 10 people, it features a glass-walled podcast studio and professional audiovisual equipment.

Podcasts, interviews, webinars, livestreams, round-table discussions, digital conferences, online training sessions, film shoots and corporate recordings can all be produced directly on site.

The studio can also be customised and branded to suit the project or the company’s identity.
