English translation:Off-premise expositions
Explanation:
Automobile manufacturers' flagship showrooms in France (especially on the Avenue des Champs Elysées) have a bar and restaurant, which is open to the public, and also a "private club" for members. They also rent out the showroom for private receptions. I think this is what you are dealing with. I also recently did a translation that included this for one of the automobile companies.
