Centre des Congrès du Palais des Papes

Place du Palais des Papes, 84000 Avignon, France

In the heart of Avignon's historic centre, the Centre des Congrès du Palais des Papes welcomes organisers to a range of spaces located in two wings of the monument. The venue brings together meeting rooms, reception spaces and exhibition areas, making it possible to plan events of various sizes in a unique heritage setting.

The spaces are suitable for congresses, conventions, seminars, business meetings, working lunches, gala dinners and team-building activities. Capacities range from small meetings to plenary sessions for several hundred people. Among the rooms, the Conclave can accommodate up to 536 participants in a plenary configuration. For exhibitions and presentations, four flexible spaces provide a total of 1,800 m² of exhibition space.

Receptions can also be held in the Palais's characterful rooms, with a stated capacity of up to 700 people. Espace Jeanne Laurent is also available for weddings. It is located in the garden of the Rocher des Doms, overlooking the Rhône and the Pont d’Avignon, and can host meals and other events.

The spaces are equipped to meet the needs of business events, and the sales team supports organisers as they prepare their projects. Specialist suppliers can provide technical, logistical or event-related services. The venue's proximity to the city centre and hotels makes it easier for participants to get around and for organisers to arrange stays linked to congresses. It is therefore suited to businesses, associations and other organisers looking for a central, flexible venue steeped in history.
