On the rue Cambon, between the Madeleine and the rue de Rivoli, the Pavillon Cambon Capucines reveals one of the most spectacular reception halls in central Paris: the former banking hall of the Crédit Foncier, under a listed glass roof. Its scale allows a real gala or a large cocktail in a heritage setting, while the auditorium, set in the former vault room, makes it possible to open the evening with a presentation.
Gala dinners of 600 guests, or up to 760 with the mezzanine, cocktails of up to 1,200 people, fashion and luxury brand events, and conferences of up to 375 participants in the Auditorium Cambon followed by a reception in the Salon Mewès. Its address near the Madeleine and the Place Vendôme suits international guests staying in the palace hotels of the district.
The venue is operated by Potel et Chabot, which can deliver a complete offer from menu to décor: ask at the first contact how catering and suppliers are organised, since it shapes the budget. The glass roof is listed, so rigging, staging and decoration plans should be submitted early for approval.
Other heritage and atypical venues, such as the Carreau du Temple, are compared in our guide to unique event spaces in Paris, and seated evening capacities in our guide to gala dinner venues.
