Balcon Paris: a new pop-up event venue in the heart of Paris

Balcon Paris: a declaration of love for the French bistro

After several years running the Créatures restaurant on the same rooftop, Julien Sebbag has been embarking on a new culinary chapter since May.
At Balcon, the chef returns to the fundamentals of the French bistro. The menu reimagines the great classics with a contemporary twist: comforting dishes, platters to share and dishes inspired by Parisian brasseries, all served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages conversation around the table, whether in groups or in private dining settings.

Large gatherings and private hire on the rooftops of Paris

Balcon has been designed to cater for both rooftop visitors and groups wishing to enjoy a dedicated space. Its relaxed yet elegant atmosphere makes it a venue particularly well-suited to contemporary event formats.

A rooftop that comes alive from morning until night

One of Balcon’s major strengths lies in its ability to transform as the day progresses.

In the morning, the rooftop hosts breakfasts and informal meetings against the backdrop of Paris. At lunchtime, it becomes a sunny retreat above the hustle and bustle of Boulevard Haussmann. As the day draws to a close, the terrace lends itself naturally to cocktails and networking, whilst the evening reveals a more intimate atmosphere, ideal for private events.

This versatility allows for a wide variety of event formats, ranging from executive breakfasts to closing cocktail receptions for seminars, amongst others.
