What if, for once, we didsomething 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 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 ! »

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.
