La Rotonde Stalingrad

What La Rotonde Stalingrad does

La Rotonde Stalingrad is a historic cultural venue and event space located at 6-8 Place de la Bataille de Stalingrad in Paris's 19th arrondissement, between the Canal Saint-Martin and the Bassin de la Villette. The site occupies an 18th-century monument designed by architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux between 1784 and 1788 as part of the Mur des Fermiers généraux, and is one of the Propylées de Paris. The venue has been operated by Cultplace since 2012 and has run under the La Rotonde Stalingrad identity since 2013, offering a mix of public programming (electronic music club nights, open-air concerts, vintage markets, exhibitions, bar/restaurant service) and private event privatization across six distinct spaces — the Atrium, Salons, Galerie, Refuge, Mini-Club, and Terrasse/Serre — with combined indoor and outdoor capacity exceeding 1,800 m² and accommodating events from 25 to 600+ attendees. The site is open Wednesday through Sunday with extended evening hours on weekends.

The company monetizes through three primary streams: per-attendee ticket sales for public events priced at €3-€20 via the Shotgun ticketing platform, customized private venue rentals for corporate and private clients handled by a dedicated sales team, and on-site food and beverage operations supported by partner caterers Chutney & Co (since 2007) and TERRE(s) Traiteur (2-macaron Ecotable certified). Pricing for private events is quote-based and turnkey, with bundled catering, audiovisual, and coordination services. Its client base spans luxury and fashion brands (Hermès, LVMH, Marine Serre), media and entertainment (Banijay, Gaumont, Radio Nova), corporate entities (Air France, Uber, Club Med, Havas, Kronenbourg, BPI), and government bodies (Paris 2024 Olympics, Ministère de la Transition Écologique, Grand Paris). The venue is ISO 20121 certified for sustainable event management, supporting ESG-aligned corporate RFPs.

The business operates with approximately 14 employees under parent company Cultplace, which functions as a "life space factory" operating multiple historic Parisian venues. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales for privatization bookings (Guillaume Cuenot, Loïs Balta), self-serve ticketing via Shotgun, and ZenChef-powered table reservations for restaurant/bar service. Marketing relies on a multilingual website (FR/EN/DE/IT/ES), Instagram, Facebook, and email communications. No technology platform, proprietary software, or AI/ML capabilities are described; the competitive positioning rests on the irreplaceable heritage asset, ISO 20121 certification, curated cultural programming, and an established 12+ year reputation in Paris's electronic music and corporate events markets.
