Event Venue in Paris 1st — 200 sqm in the Heart of the Capital
Chez Les Plombiers is a 200 sqm event space at 39 rue des Bourdonnais, Paris 1st arrondissement. A former industrial plumbing workshop reborn as a premium venue, it pairs raw character with professional-grade equipment. From intimate dinners to large-scale receptions — catering kitchen, cyclorama, and stage lighting included.
Our Space
In the heart of the 1st arrondissement, three minutes from Chatelet metro, Chez Les Plombiers is a central Paris reception hall that redefines event hosting. This 200 sqm private venue Paris offers generous proportions — 4.5 m ceiling height, exposed stone walls, original steel beams — within a fully adaptable event space designed to suit every configuration. From a standing cocktail for 150 guests to a seated dinner for 80, every square metre reshapes itself around your brief.
What sets this Paris event venue apart is a comprehensive technical setup included with every booking: Kiosc stage lighting (5 presets plus custom DMX mode), an Optoma ZU820T projector delivering 8,800 lumens, Sonos sound system with XLR inputs, and a fully equipped professional kitchen for your caterer. Street-level vehicle access allows cars and large equipment directly into the space — a rare advantage for a central Paris venue. The space is wheelchair accessible and staffed with an on-site technical manager.
Why Chez Les Plombiers
Location — Paris 1st, Chatelet Metro
39 rue des Bourdonnais, in the absolute centre of Paris. Chatelet metro (lines 1, 4, 7, 11, 14) is a 3-minute walk. Whether your guests arrive from La Defense, the suburbs, or abroad — they get here easily.
200 sqm, fully adaptable
One space, every configuration. Cocktail reception, seated dinner, theatre-style conference, breakout workshops — you design the layout, we set it up. Dividing curtains create up to 3 distinct zones.
Professional AV equipment included
Optoma ZU820T projector (8,800 lumens), Kiosc DMX stage lighting, Sonos speakers with XLR inputs, high-speed Wi-Fi. No need to budget for an external AV provider. Everything is ready to go.
Full professional kitchen
Not a sink and a microwave — a proper catering station with oven, dishwasher, ice machine, refrigerator, and freezer. Your caterer works in professional conditions from start to finish.
Street-level vehicle access
Door measuring 2.20 m wide by 3.50 m high. Cars, stage equipment, and oversized installations enter directly from the street. In central Paris, this is virtually unheard of.
