How much floor space do you need for your hire space?
To measure the floor space you need for your meeting, you can calculate the surface area required according to the number of participants and the type of event you are organising. To be on the safe side, define the maximum number of guests in the room using the following rule of thumb per person:
- 1 m² for a conference
- 1 m² for a sit-down meal
- 5 m² for a standing cocktail event
- 5 to 2 m² for a workshop or classroom training session
The result will give you the capacity of the space for hire, which you can check in our detailed table for the 3,200 m² that we put at your disposal, either in part or in full.

The ideal venue for an intellectual, solemn or spectacular event, this luxurious auditorium is the conference and performance venue par excellence, with a seating capacity of 1,000.
Whether it’s for a conference, a debate, a half-day or full day of study, a cultural festival, an awards ceremony, a film screening, a concert, an opera, a performing arts show, a political meeting, a general assembly, a press conference or any other similar type of meeting, this large conference room will score points by welcoming your participants comfortably and creating wonder in their eyes.
The reception hall at Versailles Palais des Congrès
With its 300m², the reception hall naturally offers the perfect space for welcoming and distributing visitors throughout the different levels of the building. You can set up your ticket office or box office here, as well as an information point for a major event. Available for private hire on request, this space can also be used to set up your catering area in addition to the main area.
The Mazarin Room
Sublime, atypical and versatile, the Mazarin Room is perfect for organising a large-scale event, a professional event or a public function. With its special atmosphere, in the revisited spirit of the Château de Versailles, this large space offers you all the functions of a multi-purpose hall or function room, but in a sumptuous setting worthy of a royal palace. It will be an undeniable asset for your conference, trade show, exhibition, temporary exhibition, prestigious reception, fashion show or temporary showroom, and many other event formats.
The Lulli Room
Perfect for an intimate or festive event, this turnkey venue offers a cosy and distinguished setting for your seminars and private receptions. With an attractive circular surface area of 350 m² and a private lounge bar, the Lulli room is particularly suited to a cocktail reception followed by an evening party, a DJ set, a dance party, a corporate evening with a dance floor or a private concert. However, the Lulli is also the ideal venue for your hybrid event, audiovisual broadcast, webinar or top-of-the-range videoconference, thanks to its state-of-the-art connections, large projection screen and camera equipment for live streaming. Modular and resourceful, this superb starry-sky venue will also shine as a private lounge or VIP area for a major event at Versailles Palais des Congrès.
Lounges and sub-commission rooms

You can organise a workshop or training course here, or set up a buffet, dressing rooms or networking area for your business events.
Le Nôtre Gallery
This large, long, curved gallery is a space connected to the Richelieu amphitheatre. It can be used for a buffet or cocktail reception during a meeting in the auditorium. You can also use it creatively for a temporary exhibition, or set up a full-length exhibitor area.

Mistakes to avoid when choosing a space to rent
Not defining the surface area to rent
It is important to match the size of the space to be hired to the number of guests, counting both seated and standing guests. It would be a shame to hire too large a room when there will be very few participants, or, on the contrary, to hire too small a room that cannot accommodate the vast majority of guests.
Do not check the configuration of the space
The configuration of the space to hire must be adapted to the type of event. For example, a sit-down meal cannot be held in an auditorium, nor a conference in a corridor! What’s more, particular attention must be paid to accessibility for people with reduced mobility (PRM) and those with disabilities.
Do not check equipment
Don’t forget to check the equipment in each rental space, such as electrical sockets and other connections, as well as the equipment available on site, such as the sound system, screens, video projector, control room, etc.; a technician, stage manager or team of technicians will be on hand to help you with all the technical aspects.
Don't think about semi-privatisation
Don’t worry, semi-privatisation is possible and we’re here to advise you as best we can.
