Spaces in the Palais Brongniart

The stars

The nave and annexes

A heritage jewel, 24 metres high under a glass roof, right in the centre of Paris: the Nave, the natural heart of the Paris Bourse, is a choice option for organisers of trade fairs, conventions and stylish receptions. Note that both the main hall and its extension (Espace Réaumur), designed at the beginning of the last century by the Compagnie Eiffel, have a catering service and a reception-coordination area.

Capacity: 1000 people for cocktails, 400 seated.

The Grand Auditorium

A complete change of scenery in the basement, with the modernity of the Grand Auditorium opened in 2002 in the premises that once housed the Matif fish auction. A few arty touches (the trompe-l'oeil fresco at the entrance to the auditorium, the soaring spiral staircase, the vermilion columns in the foyer...) enhance the fully-equipped venue.

Capacity: 602-seat conference room, foyer-bar with pantry, walk-in hall, lounges, cloakroom, etc. The conference centre also has a small 99-seat auditorium on the second floor of the Palais.

Grand luxury

Salle Notre-Dame des Victoires

As an extension of the Nave, this is a financial mecca where the results of major listed companies are presented.

Capacity: 180 people for conferences (theatre style), 350 for cocktails.

VIP Lounge

It's a festival of gilding, chandeliers and mouldings, with a touch of elegance and authenticity. The graceful staircase leading to the lounge and the paintings on the vaulted ceiling add to the charm of the place.

Capacity: 180 people for conferences (theatre style), 300 for cocktails.

The club restaurant

The former 'canteen' for stockbrokers has been transformed into a restaurant-club dedicated exclusively to the financial community at lunchtime. But the space is open to hire for breakfast or dinner.

Capacity: 40 people.

Trash area

The quotation blackboard, period telephone booths, relics of securities and, of course, the famous "Corbeille" with its huge pile of sand at its centre, once dubbed "the biggest ashtray in Paris": everything is here to bring back to life the great era of La Criée.

Capacity: 200 people for cocktails.

Other spaces

Salle Brongniart, Salle Labarre, Salle Cavel and Salle Eiffel: four meeting rooms for 12 to 40 people.
