Private dining room in Lyon 5: host in a historic bouchon
A birthday, a family meal, a seminar or a company dinner? Aux Trois Maries offers a private room in the heart of Vieux-Lyon: the independent upper floor, or the whole house across both levels. Here's how to host your guests.
In short
Aux Trois Maries, a historic Vieux-Lyon bouchon (Lyon 5), offers two private-room options. Partial hire books the independent, flexible upper floor, up to 40 covers, ideal for a family meal or a meeting. Full hire opens both levels of the house — 65 covers (25 on the ground floor and 40 upstairs) — for a company event or a large occasion. Wi-Fi, an air-conditioned room, wheelchair access and a terrace complete the welcome. Every event is quoted individually: describe your project and we'll get back to you.

A private room in the heart of Vieux-Lyon
Hiring a room on rue des Trois-Maries means gathering your guests in one of the oldest bouchons in Lyon, right in the UNESCO-listed Renaissance quarter. You're not renting an anonymous hall: you're hosting in a house with a history, a terroir cuisine and the charm of true Lyon tables — a chequered floor on the ground level, mouldings and parquet upstairs.
This address in the 5th arrondissement combines two rare assets for an event: a location in the city's tourist heart, steps from Saint-Jean cathedral, and the intimacy of a human-scale venue. Your guests leave with the memory of a real bouchon, not an interchangeable banqueting room.
We offer two options depending on the size of your group: the independent upper floor alone, or the whole house across both levels. Both are flexible and suit a business lunch as much as a festive dinner.
The independent upper floor: up to 40 covers
Partial hire reserves the upper floor of the house for you, an independent and flexible space seating up to 40 covers. It's the ideal option when you want a place of your own, away from other diners, without hiring the whole restaurant.
The upper floor has its own atmosphere: parquet, mouldings, curtains and armchairs in the house tones, and an air-conditioned room that stays comfortable in high season. It suits a family meal — a christening, a birthday, a gathering — just as well as a work meeting or a team lunch.
The service stays attentive and dedicated to your table: that's the whole point of a reserved space, where the meal's pace follows your event rather than the neighbouring room's.
Full hire: both floors, 65 covers
For grand occasions, the whole house is hired: the two levels together seat up to 65 covers — 25 on the ground floor and 40 upstairs. You then have the entire restaurant, with the flexibility to run a cocktail on the ground floor and a seated meal upstairs, or the other way round.
It's the option for company events, seminars, large family gatherings and celebrations that call for space and intimacy at once. The whole house becomes yours for an evening, with its two atmospheres and its authentic bouchon decor.
The occasions we host
Family meals, christenings, birthdays, reunions: the private room suits every large table where you want to be together, unhurried and undisturbed. The generous, convivial bouchon cuisine finds its natural setting there.
On the professional side, we host seminars, team meetings, business lunches and company dinners. Vieux-Lyon gives a work event a memorable setting, halfway between the meeting table and the outing that brings a team together.
Whatever the occasion, the menu remains the bouchon's: Lyon specialities, seasonal dishes and homemade desserts. We tailor the flow of the meal to your event — welcome cocktail, group menu, speaking time — when preparing the quote.
Facilities and services
A private room isn't judged by capacity alone: comfort and services make an event a success. Here's what you have at Aux Trois Maries.
Comfort & flexibility
An air-conditioned upper floor, flexible spaces across both levels, Wi-Fi available: the venue adapts to a working lunch as much as a festive dinner, whatever the season.
Access & location
In the heart of Vieux-Lyon, steps from the metro D Vieux-Lyon and Saint-Jean cathedral. Wheelchair access is possible and a terrace opens in fine weather: a central venue, easy for all your guests to reach.
Dedicated support
Every hire is prepared with you: choice of option, flow of the meal, timings. The service stays attentive throughout the event, in the convivial spirit of the bouchon.
Request a quote for your hire
Every event is unique and quoted individually: the option depends on the number of guests, the date and the type of occasion. The simplest way is to describe your project — we'll get back to you quickly with a suitable proposal.
Where possible, state the number of people, the intended date and the nature of the event: the more detailed your request, the more precise our answer. You can fill in the quote request from our groups & private events page, or call us directly — many group enquiries are settled faster by voice.
For a simple booking of up to about ten people, a standard table is all you need: hire becomes worthwhile beyond that, when you want a space entirely your own.
