Palais des congrès de Royan, Convention center in Royan, France
The Royan Convention Center features a cubic structure made of reinforced concrete with external diagonal staircases and internal curved walls facing the Gironde estuary.
Built between 1954 and 1957 by architect Claude Ferret, the building stands as a significant example of post-war modern architecture.
The center hosts conferences, exhibitions, and performances in its adaptable hall, contributing to the cultural development of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
The facilities include an adjustable performance hall, ten commission rooms, a reception hall, and a restaurant space for various events.
The building now incorporates the Architecture and Heritage Interpretation Center at sea level, following its renovation in 2023.
