Temporary structure hire, across France
Tents, marquees and covered spaces set up then taken down for the length of your event — the modular, constraint-free alternative to a reception venue.
What is a temporary structure?
A temporary structure is a covered space installed temporarily — for the length of an event or a season — then entirely taken down, leaving no permanent trace. Reception tent, marquee, stretch tent, orangery or glass tent: the structure comes to the venue you have chosen and adapts exactly to your capacity, your ground and your style.
It is the ideal answer when the dream venue has no suitable space, when the number of guests exceeds the local capacity, or when you want a unique setting impossible to recreate in a standard venue. No planning permission for a short-term installation, setup in a few hours to a few days, and a turnkey service: delivery, setup, takedown and transport included.
Every family, from the pop-up gazebo to the glass tent.

Why choose a temporary structure?
- Freedom of venue — set up your event where no venue exists: garden, estate, château, meadow, courtyard, car park, rooftop.
- Bespoke capacity — from 20 to more than 2,000 guests, the structure fits your number of guests exactly.
- Full reversibility — no permanent trace: the structure is taken down and the ground returned to its original state.
- Guaranteed protection — fire-rated canvas, calculated anchoring, wind resistance up to 100 km/h, certificates provided for your town-hall or ERP file.
- Turnkey — delivery, setup the day before, takedown afterwards, transport included — you handle nothing.
Everything about temporary structures.
A temporary structure is a covered space installed temporarily — for the length of an event or a season — then entirely taken down, leaving no permanent trace on the ground. Reception tents, marquees, stretch tents, orangeries and glass tents are the most common forms. Unlike a permanent build, a temporary structure does not require planning permission for a short-term installation (generally less than three months), adapts to almost any ground and is set up in a few hours to a few days depending on the model.
A venue is fixed: you adapt your event to the place. A temporary structure does the opposite — it comes to the place you have chosen (your garden, an estate, a château, a meadow, a car park, a factory courtyard) and fits your exact capacity. You control the décor, the layout, the capacity and the atmosphere from A to Z. It is the solution when the dream venue has no suitable space, when the capacity exceeds the local limits, or when you want a unique setting impossible to obtain in a standard venue.
For a short-term event, a demountable temporary structure does not require planning permission. Depending on the area, the public hosted and the duration, a town-hall declaration, an authorisation to occupy public land or a safety file (CTS structures — Marquees, Tents and Structures — for establishments open to the public) may be required. Our structures comply with the standards in force (fire-rated canvas, calculated anchoring) and we provide the certificates needed for your town-hall or ERP file.
The fleet covers the whole spectrum: from the operational pop-up gazebo (setup in minutes, ideal for a stand and reception) to the versatile marquee (40 to 500 guests), via the nomadic stretch tent for bohemian weddings, the orangery and glass tent for prestige events, the tipi for a rustic feel, and large-span structures for trade shows and storage. Each model corresponds to a precise capacity, budget and visual style.
From half a day (opening, cocktail) to several months (seasonal space extension, building site, temporary showroom). The majority of event hires last a weekend: setup the day before, takedown the next day. For long durations, the most robust structures (heavy marquee, large-span structure, orangery) are preferred for their resistance to wind and weather over time.
Yes. Our service is turnkey: delivery, setup the day before the event, then takedown and removal afterwards — everything is handled by our network of qualified partners, transport included in the quote. You have nothing to handle. Ground constraints (narrow access, sloping ground, isolated estate) are absorbed by the local teams who know them.
