A showroom is a space dedicated to a brand's commercial presentation (B2B, sales meetings, look-books, buyer fittings), typically more intimate (50-200 sqm) with fashion racks, mirrors and adapted lighting. A gallery is a neutral exhibition space (white cube), preferred for runway shows, press launches, artistic exhibitions and pop-ups, with larger surfaces (150-500 sqm) and better public visibility.

No, the final booking is done via a contract signed directly with the venue owner. However, the entire research, selection, detailed venue pages browsing, quote request and exchange with our team is done online. The form at /contact starts the process, and we send contracts via DocuSign for electronic signature.

Yes. Approximately 60% of our 388 published venues have a 360-degree virtual tour or a video presentation. For international clients who cannot travel, we also organise live tours via Zoom or WhatsApp video with our team on site. Free physical visits are obviously still recommended before confirmation.

Yes, event liability insurance certification is mandatory for all events in our venues (minimum EUR 1.5M coverage, sometimes EUR 3-5M for major brands). Most organisers already have this insurance; otherwise, we recommend specialised partners (Hiscox, AIG) who cover a one-off event for EUR 200-800 depending on size.

It depends on the venue. About 70% of our spaces accept any external caterer (full freedom), 20% require a list of 3-5 approved partner caterers (often for hygiene or kitchen logistics reasons), 10% of premium venues require an exclusive caterer. This information is clearly indicated on each venue page and confirmed during our commercial proposal.
