Is the Espace Soleil right for your seminar?
The Espace Soleil suits a specific format well: a one-day seminar or a half-day of work followed by cocktails, for a group of 40 to 100 people. Beyond 100 people seated, you will need to switch to a standing cocktail reception (140 people) or choose a larger venue. Below 30 people, the room will feel empty: a smaller meeting room or an afterwork format will feel warmer.
| Layout | Capacity | What for |
|---|---|---|
| Theatre | 100 people | Plenary, results presentation, conference |
| U-shape | 83 people | Participative meeting, extended committee, training |
| Standing cocktail reception | 140 people | Closing reception, afterwork drinks, New Year reception |
