The top floor of Galeries Lafayette, reimagined
Located in the heart of Paris on top of Galeries Lafayette, we offer a co-working space for plutonians in collaboration with La Maison by Motier Ventures. It is also home to about 15 of the top AI startups in town.
You will be surrounded by like-minded talents, entrepreneurs, and investors throughout your stay.
The House
Situated just outside of central Paris, the house consists of 8 bedrooms. It’s a shared space for serendipity, weekly events with exclusive guests, and a garden for drinks. The location is well connected by metro to get around.
The perfect set-up for 4 weeks of deep building.

Who is the typical plutonian?
Absurd ambition
You want to build transformational projects that will change how society functions.
Obsession
You are obsessed with a problem and with solving it. You want to work as hard as humanly possible to make things happen.
Humility
You have full confidence in your capabilities but remain open to learning new things and being proven wrong.
Uniqueness
You don’t fit the mold. You have your unique view of the future and feel that those around you don’t fully grasp how you feel. You don’t believe that society’s structures suit your ambitions.
Builder mindset
Since you were a kid, you have been building side projects, robots, bots, companies, you name it. You translate your frustration about something not working into a scrappy solution.
