One Studio, two spaces
The space designed by the architects of the h2o (Paris) agency is modern, elegant and functional.
Located opposite the Petite Galerie, the Studio has a Forum and nine rooms for workshops and training sessions. There is also a special area designed with families in mind, with toilets, a baby care area and other amenities. The opening of the Studio has tripled the surface area dedicated to workshops and training.
