What if, for once, we did something unforgettable

Le 3ème Cercle is a place unlike any other in Paris: an art gallery where you put on an apron, cook side by side, and sit down to eat together. Your teams, your clients, your loved ones, all gathered around the only things that truly bring people together: the pleasure of making, and of sharing.

Here, nothing is done the usual way

Three key moments

The same thread, at lunch or in the evening: you discover, you learn, you share.

Discover

You arrive

You push the door open

A quiet street in the 11th arrondissement, a door you would never suspect. Behind it: the gallery, works on the walls, a soft light. You are welcomed with a glass in hand. Already, the conversation has drifted away from the office.

You cook

You put on the apron

Off to the kitchen, the chef's playground. Groups are formed, sleeves rolled up. Here, the director peels vegetables next to the intern. And there is a surprise: you don't yet know what you will be cooking. The chef composes with the day's market (“we have a beautiful sea bream, some artichokes… what will you make of them?”) and builds the dish with you.

You sit down to eat

You gather at a table in the gallery

Back to the art gallery, now turned into a dining room. You plate up, settle in, and taste what you have cooked as a team, with well-chosen wines alongside. That is where it all happens: the real conversations, the laughter, the feeling of having truly experienced something together. You leave with a memory, not a goodie.

“Art opens the eye, cooking sparks the sharing.”Yannick Leclerc, in Le Point

« Nous avons participé à cet atelier de cuisine dans le cadre d’une activité de team building, avec un groupe de 10 collègues internationaux, et nous avons tous passé un excellent moment ! Yannick a été un hôte formidable. Il nous a parfaitement guidés tout au long de l’atelier (aussi en anglais pour les groupes internationaux), dans une ambiance conviviale et détendue. Toute l’équipe est repartie ravie, avec de très bons souvenirs, de belles photos et, bien sûr, de délicieuses recettes. Une expérience que nous recommandons vivement pour un événement d’équipe ! We took part in this cooking workshop as a team-building activity with a group of 10 international colleagues, and we all had a fantastic time! -- Yannick was a wonderful host. He guided us perfectly throughout the workshop and was also able to conduct everything in English, which made the experience very easy and enjoyable for our international group. The atmosphere was friendly, relaxed, and fun. The whole team left delighted, with great memories, lovely pictures, and, of course, delicious recipes. We highly recommend this experience for a team event! »

« Nous avons passé un super moment au sein de l'atelier du 3ème cercle, en compagnie de Marc. Je recommande chaleureusement ce lieu, où l'on se sent chez soi très rapidement, et dans une ambiance très conviviale tout en apprenant quelques tips. Yannick a su aussi faire preuve d'adaptation pour nous permettre de vivre ce moment en équipe réduite. »

« Nous avons pris un grand plaisir à organiser notre après-midi de travail au 3e Cercle : un cadre sobre, illustré par les oeuvres d'artistes que la galerie expose et qui se transforme en une agréable expérience culinaire lorsque l'on quitte les réunions pour les fourneaux. Merci Yannick pour l'accueil et le délicieux dîné préparé en équipe ! »

« Nous souhaitions organiser une journée de cohésion d'équipe sous le signe de l'art et de la gastronomie car en cuisine comme dans nos projets, les plus belles réalisations, se construisent en équipe, dans l’écoute, le mouvement et l’attention portée à l'équilibre de chaque détail. L'approche de Yannick Leclerc est parfaite pour embarquer une équipe vers un moment hors du temps, convivial et décontracté dans la forme, mais élégant et raffiné jusqu'aux petites bulles du délicieux champagne qu'il faut absolument venir découvrir. Merci au Chef Yannick Leclerc et à son équipe. Novéam AMO sur-mesure, Paris »

Yannick Leclerc, Le 3ème Cercle — Masterclass by Michel Denisot for Le Point
lePointMasterclassby Michel Denisot“When art and cooking reinvent the corporate experience” · 3 min · in French

Why it works

This is not just another activity. It is a moment that leaves a mark.

You could hire a karaoke, book an escape game, run a cocktail workshop. It's fun. But it fades. Cooking together is something else: you have to organise yourselves, trust each other, hand things over at just the right moment. Office roles fall away.

You discover your colleagues in a new light. And you remember it long afterwards. That is what companies come here for: bonds that last, not a parenthesis. And because no two teams are alike, nothing here is “off the shelf”: everything is thought through.

It is not “anything goes”, it is “everything is thought through”.Le Point × Michel Denisot

The soul of the 3ème Cercle

A lived-in place, a chef who welcomes you

Le 3ème Cercle is first of all a place: a contemporary art gallery and a professional kitchen, under the same roof, in Paris 11. A setting that changes with every exhibition, and a kitchen built for entertaining.

It is also a chef: Yannick Leclerc, 35 years in the kitchen, trained in the greatest Michelin-starred houses, former trainer of the chefs of the École Ducasse. He does not cook for you: he cooks with you.
