La Maroquinerie is located at 23 Rue Boyer in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. The venue has existed since 1997 and includes a hall with a capacity of 500 people, as well as a restaurant-bar that is open every evening.[1] Its name is derived from the French word for leather crafting, and La Maroquinerie is housed in a former leather workshop.[2]
The geographer Anne Clerval notes that La Maroquinerie is situated in a neighborhood undergoing gentrification and serves as an example of the transformation of an industrial site into a trendy artistic venue.[3] Sociologists Michel Pinçon and Monique Pinçon-Charlot also highlight the working-class past of this location.[4]
It is a private establishment holding a DRAC license 1 for live performances.[5]
