With its 200 m² spread over two decks of 100 m² each, La Baleine Blanche adapts to all seasons and all your desires:
- The upper deck: A covered and heated space, perfect for a seated dinner or cocktail reception. Its exotic wood flooring adds a natural and elegant touch. In fine weather, the roof opens to reveal a terrace with views of the Seine. You'll also find a bar, sound system, and screens to enhance your event.
- The lower deck: Ideal for a festive atmosphere and a dance party. It includes a dance floor, a DJ booth, a complete sound system, a refrigerated bar and a cloakroom for the comfort of your guests.

- PPascal Deroche19/11/2022A great experience for a reasonable priceA great experience for a reasonable priceOn June 18th, we celebrated our wedding after the ceremony at the town hall of the 13th arrondissement. There were about forty of us, and we opted for the country-style menu with a light lunch and drinks. The decor was beautiful, the food was high quality and beautifully presented, and the staff was attentive and friendly. All our guests loved the venue, located on the Seine (a unique setting!), and enjoyed the menu. A wonderful experience at a reasonable price.On June 18th, we celebrated our wedding after the ceremony at the town hall of the 13th arrondissement.
