L'Assemblée

Completed in 1946 by the French architect Auguste Perret, the Assembly reflects all the technical and aesthetic potential of concrete. Headquarters of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, the 3rd assembly of the Republic after the Senate and the National Assembly, it enjoys an exceptional geographical location in the 16th arrondissement of Paris with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower. The majestic movement of the staircase, the sequence of columns and screens constitute a unique ensemble of the most innovative in modern architecture.

For a solemn conference, the Hemicycle is the ideal space. With a diameter of 25m, it is topped by a double dome and can accommodate 418 people, 238 divided into 3 bays of red seats and 180 in the stands. This space has all the necessary audio and video equipment to ensure the quality of your interventions.

The centrepiece of the building is the Hypostyle Room, 50m long and 18m wide. Its architecture is resolutely modern. The ceiling reveals the concrete beams forming coffers in which oak panels are inserted. It is supported by 20 rows of 10 impressive fluted columns. This modular and customizable space can accommodate 900 people for a cocktail party or 510 people for a dinner.

The Assembly offers 5 other rooms for more intimate meetings or lunches, with capacities from 40 to 250 people.
