PageNavi redirects to 404 when used as archive page

I'm using a page as archive for a custom post type called event.

register_post_type('event', array(
    'labels' = array(
        'name' = 'Événements',
        'singular_name' = 'Événement',
    ),
    'public' = true,
    'has_archive' = false,
    'hierarchical' = false,
    'menu_icon' = 'dashicons-calendar-alt',
    'rewrite' = array(
        'with_front' = false,
        'slug' = 'evenements'
    )
));

Then, I defined this page template to template-event.php, where I use the following code to loop through post types.

$args = array(
    'post_type'      = 'event',
    'posts_per_page' = 6,
    'paged'          = get_query_var('paged')
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

if( $the_query-have_posts() ) :

    while ( $the_query-have_posts() ) : $the_query-the_post();

        the_title();

    endwhile;

    wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' = $the_query ) );
    wp_reset_postdata();

endif;
?

This code works great for my home.php page, but not for this one.
Any idea why?
