Sèvres Manufacture et Musée nationaux

Book the Manufacture de Sèvres and place your event at the heart of French know-how

Located on four hectares of greenery, at the gates of Paris, Sèvres Manufacture and National Museum, a unique place of dialogue between heritage and creation, offers its exceptional spaces for your event. The know-how inherited from the 18th century, an intangible heritage, combines with the imagination and talent of today's artists to produce porcelain pieces at the cutting edge of contemporary creation. The buildings, a major industrial heritage site, have housed the Sèvres porcelain production workshops since 1876 and the national collections of the Musée des arts du feu. They are now classified as historical monuments, but can be used for prestigious receptions.

The diversity and originality of these spaces offer a wide range of possibilities for cocktail parties, sit-down dinners, seminars, dance parties or even concerts that can be combined with a tailor-made visit to the production workshops and the museum's collections.

Sèvres National Manufacture and Museum is a unique place for dialogue between heritage and creation. With its unique collection of nearly 55,000 pieces, the Cité offers a unique opportunity to discover a thousand years of history and technique through the ceramics of many civilizations up to the present day.

Sèvres Manufacture and National Museum opens its exceptional spaces at the gates of Paris for your prestigious events.
