9 Stunning Blank Canvas Venues in Paris
22 March 2021Updated 14 October 2024A figure of speech is a handy device. One you might know is the figurative blank canvas: a licence to do anything you want.
In the world of corporate events, a blank canvas venue is literally that. There aren’t any decorations or outstanding features, so it is entirely flexible for an event planner. It can be decorated and transformed in whatever way they choose.
Be the envy of the world by getting to work on a blank canvas venue in Paris. Get to know nine stunning spaces right here and set your imagination alight.
1) Industrial-Style Venue for Receptions and More
The first of our blank canvas venues in Paris is this industrial-style venue. Its stone walls are cool and smooth; the glass roof bathes you in natural light; the glass floor segments are a great touch!
The location is ideal for receptions, art exhibitions, showrooms, press days and photoshoots. It has a maximum capacity of 100 people and a floor space of 130m2.
