Palais des congrès de Royan, Convention center in Royan, France
The Palais des congrès de Royan is a convention center with a cubic reinforced concrete structure and external diagonal staircases. The building contains an adjustable performance hall, ten meeting rooms, a reception space, and dining facilities for various events.
The building was constructed between 1954 and 1957 by architect Claude Ferret. It stands as a key example of post-war modern architecture and shaped the city's reconstruction after the Second World War.
The center hosts conferences, exhibitions, and performances that shape cultural life in the region. Visitors experience diverse artistic and intellectual programs that establish Royan as a regional cultural destination.
The center sits directly on the coast overlooking the Gironde estuary and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should know that its waterfront location means access can vary depending on the season and weather conditions.
Following its renovation in 2023, the center now houses an Architecture and Heritage Interpretation Center at sea level. This addition lets visitors understand the building's architectural story and its role in shaping the city's development.
