Le Quai des Lanternes

À l'Étang, 01140 Saint-Étienne-sur-Chalaronne, France

Le Quai des Lanternes is an event venue in a former dairy that has been converted in Saint-Étienne-sur-Chalaronne, in Ain. It hosts weddings, seminars, corporate events and private celebrations in a setting that combines industrial architecture with welcoming spaces.
Organisers can choose from several flexible spaces and adapt the layout to suit their programme. The large reception hall can accommodate up to 300 people and includes a stage, a bar and a luminous ceiling. A covered outdoor space makes it possible to hold a drinks reception or ceremony under shelter, while an adjoining room is suitable for small meetings, children's activities or other key moments. The venue also has a courtyard, a garden and a car park. Furniture is provided, and clients are free to choose their suppliers, including their caterer.
The venue is suitable for both family celebrations and business events. Companies can organise study days, team meetings or residential seminars here, with equipped workspaces and team-building activities available as extras. Several adjoining holiday cottages make it possible to extend the stay and accommodate guests or colleagues on site.
For weddings, the different spaces allow couples to hold the ceremony, drinks reception, dinner and evening dancing all in one place. The team supports organisers as they prepare their event and can provide on-site coordination if needed. The venue hosts events all year round and is around 45 minutes from Lyon.
