La Coupole - Arc 1600
A unique, bright, and versatile space
La Coupole was one of the first buildings constructed at Arc 1600 in 1969, based on a design by Pierre Faucheux, an architect and graphic designer.
Designed as a venue for cultural events and gatherings, it features a 130-seat auditorium with movable seating, video projection, a screen, and a sound system.
Its circular layout, natural light, and large floor-to-ceiling window opening onto an outdoor terrace make it a space particularly well-suited for more intimate events: conferences, screenings, concerts, ceremonies, cocktail parties, coffee breaks, or business meetings. The ground floor also features a reception and exhibition area that can double as a bar.
