Les Variétés Cinema – Private events in Marseille

Les Variétés Cinema offers private hire of screening rooms at 37 rue Vincent Scotto in central Marseille, close to La Canebière. This art house cinema welcomes both private and professional events, with a team that considers individual requests and prepares a tailored proposal. Its location places gatherings within an established cultural venue in the city centre.

The advertised offer covers seminars, conferences, workshops, award ceremonies, project launches and private premieres. Birthdays, celebrations, brunches and cocktail receptions are also among the formats presented by the cinema. A screening can accompany a meeting or reception, subject to an event programme agreed with the venue. The cinema spaces provide a setting centred on images, attentive listening and presentations to an audience, with different options to discuss according to the intended occasion.

There are seven air-conditioned screening rooms, advertised as accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. The Signoret room seats 193 people; the other six offer capacities between 32 and 91 people. The private hire brochure presents the spaces and hospitality arrangements, including the café-bar and related services. The choice of room and permitted attendance should be confirmed according to guest numbers, configuration and the event’s requirements. For presentations, film screenings or time for conversation, the team can explain technical arrangements and the available services before the event is booked.

Les Variétés also maintains its art house cinema programme, including films shown in their original language with subtitles, retrospectives and screenings for younger audiences. Premieres, film discussions, festivals and film clubs contribute to the cultural life of this Marseille address.

Nearby public transport includes Noailles, Canebière-Capucins and Cours Saint-Louis. Central Bourse, Gambetta and Charles de Gaulle public car parks provide other access options.

To request a quotation, contact the hire team with the preferred date, guest numbers, proposed duration and requirements for projection or catering. The private hire proposal is prepared according to the project. Prices for ordinary public screenings belong to the regular cinema box office and are separate from the event hire arrangements.

Capacities of the seven screening rooms

Each room has its own capacity. Attendance for a private event depends on the selected room; these figures are not added together as the capacity of a single event.
