What is a showroom?

A showroom is a transitory showcase space that can open for a single day or several weeks, even months. 

A temporary showroom rental does not bind you with a lasting lease, allowing you to get your customers to try and feel, organize your events or validate the potential of a Paris neighborhood while benefiting from great adaptability.

How much does a showroom cost to rent in Paris?

Every showroom in Paris charges a different price for rental. It depends on where it’s located and how popular the location is.

On average, renting a Paris showroom ranges from 200 euros a day to 2000 euros a day. Keep in mind, there is a difference between a hire price and a dry hire price.

A hire price rate is what you pay for the space with extra services. These services can include caterers and servers.

 A dry hire rate is what you pay for a showroom space without the extra services. This means you have to provide your own workers or do the labor yourself.

Things to consider when choosing a showroom venue/location in Paris 

• The first factor to consider when choosing a showroom location in Paris is the cost. You have a budget that you want to stick to. You can’t go over your budget. You also don’t want to undershoot too much. If a showroom space is too cheap, there’s a reason for it. You should also factor in the security deposit. Most renters will require a security deposit in case of any damage to their property.

• Next, you want to consider the actual location of the showroom venue in Paris. There should be easy access to the building.

• You want plenty of parking for your guests. If there isn’t parking space, public transportation should be accessible.

• The location you choose should also be easy for your guests to find. If it’s too difficult, they might give up and head home.

• Your renter is going to require that you purchase insurance. This goes along with the security deposit. Now, the type of insurance you need will depend on the renter.

• More than likely, you’re going to need security. Security workers help with chaos and keep the rowdy under control. You have to ask your renter if they provide security. If so, the price to rent is going to be a bit higher.

And if the renter doesn’t offer security and workers, you’re going to have to hire your own. Is there Wi-Fi or internet access? Guests like to be plugged in. They need to be able to check their e-mail or post on social media.

Rent a Showroom in Paris

What are the most sought-after showroom locations in Paris?

Whether you're searching for space to display your latest art or looking for a location to show off your brand, you can't go wrong with a showroom venue in Paris. The two neighborhoods we recommend for your showroom space are The Marais and the Champs-Elysees. The Marais is the hip area of Paris, surrounded by young adults and chic vintage shops. The Champs-Elysees is the most famous street in the city. If you want to get noticed, it's an ideal location. The Marais has the most spaces available, ranging from galleries to apartments. If you have a large group or several products, we recommend checking out a gallery space. Marais apartments will give you a cozier feel. Champs-Elysees is the most fashionable street in Paris, so if you're looking for foot traffic, it's your best bet. The Champs-Elysees area is spectacular for high-fashion events and posh art shows.

How much does it cost to rent a showroom venue in Paris?

The price of a venue varies due to the condition, location, and size of the showroom. If you need something affordable, the Marais should be your top pick. It's a large neighborhood with several levels of income. If you're willing to splurge, the Champs-Elysees is guaranteed to give your brand the attention it deserves. There are even fashion week showroom spaces! Here are a few considerations for renting in Paris:

• Prices in the Marais range from €420/day to €14,000/day. Look into neighborhoods like Oberkampf and Republique if you need something cheaper - you'll still get plenty of buyers, as there are several metro stops nearby. The center of the Marais, known as Le Haut Marais, is the most expensive.
• Champs-Elysees prices range from so-pricey-you-have-to-request-it to the surprisingly affordable €144/week. Since this area is smaller, you won't have quite as many options.
• Consider the project you're showing. If you have a fashion week show or need dressing rooms, you'll need substantial showroom space - which can cost more. Additionally, if your event is all day, make sure you look into catering costs or if there's a daily delegate rate.
