A Sephora Training Day in a Haussmann Apartment in Paris
šļø How It All Began šļø
There's a reason more and more companies are moving their training days out of hotel conference rooms. The best sessions happen in spaces that feel intentional, where the setting itself signals that something worth showing up for is happening.
That's exactly the brief Tarte Cosmetics brought to us for their Sephora training: a full-day working session for 30 people in Paris, with a venue that could handle both the work and the experience around it.
š The Brief š
The requirements were clear:
- A full day for 30 participants
- U-shaped table setup for a proper training configuration
- Screen and whiteboard for presentations
- Lunch on-site, buffet or cocktail format
š The Chosen Venue š

The answer was a 100m² Haussmann-style apartment in the 17th arrondissement, a former embassy flat with 4-metre-high ceilings, a south-facing aspect and a 10m² balcony. This is not a conference room. It's a private residence that makes attendees stop for a second before walking in.
The space had everything they needed: U-shaped table configuration, full AV setup for the presentations, and the host cleared a dedicated zone for lunch on-site.
The result: a working space with real character, that matched the brief point for point.

š The Native Spaces Difference š
Our team worked closely with the client through the search process, sharing options, understanding what really mattered for the day, and narrowing it down to the venue that genuinely fit.
One of the things that makes Native Spaces work is the quality of the spaces and hosts on our platform. From the first message, the host was responsive, flexible and easy to work with ā confirming setup options, arranging a site visit, and sorting the logistics around the lunch zone directly with the client. Everything was handled through the platform, simply and efficiently.
