Symposium at the CID Deauville: remarkable accessibility

One of the major advant­ages of the Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville for organ­ising sci­entif­ic con­fer­ences is its prox­im­ity to Par­is — less than 2 hours by train or car via the A13 motor­way — and its easy access from Caen, which is around 45 minutes away. Organ­isers also appre­ci­ate the vari­ety of trans­port options available:

  • By train: Deau­ville-Trouville sta­tion, just a few minutes’ walk away, provides a dir­ect link with the capital.
  • By air: Deau­ville-Nor­man­die air­port (Saint-Gatien) is just 15 minutes away, while Caen-Car­pi­quet air­port com­pletes the range of domest­ic and inter­na­tion­al flights via con­nect­ing flights.
  • By road: easy access via major motor­ways and a private car park with 80 spaces, not to men­tion the 2,200 spaces nearby, make logist­ics easi­er for large delegations.

This access­ib­il­ity makes the Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville a prime choice for events agen­cies orches­trat­ing sym­po­sia on a nation­al or inter­na­tion­al scale.

4 great reasons to choose the Centre International de Deauville for scientific events in France

An inspiring seaside setting for your events

Organ­ising a sym­posi­um by the sea means offer­ing your par­ti­cipants an exper­i­ence that tran­scends the merely pro­fes­sion­al. Deau­ville beach, with its fam­ous cab­ins and 653 metres of board­walk, is just a stone­’s throw away. This ener­gising envir­on­ment stim­u­lates cre­ativ­ity and encour­ages inform­al exchanges, often decis­ive in sci­entif­ic or pro­fes­sion­al events.

Recognised expertise in organising major events in France

With over 30 years’ exper­i­ence since its inaug­ur­a­tion in 1992, the Centre Inter­na­tion­al de Deau­ville excels at host­ing large-scale events. From med­ic­al con­gresses to inter­na­tion­al sum­mits and the Amer­ic­an Film Fest­iv­al, this ven­ue has been able to adapt to the expect­a­tions of the most demand­ing organisers.

The on-site teams — sales man­agers, pro­ject man­agers and stage man­agers — work in syn­ergy to ensure that everything runs smoothly, wheth­er you opt for a face-to-face, vir­tu­al or hybrid format.

A committed, eco-responsible venue for scientific events in France

In a world where sus­tain­ab­il­ity counts, the CID stands out for its Safe Con­gress and ISO 20121 cer­ti­fic­a­tions. This com­mit­ment trans­lates into eco-respons­ible prac­tices — reduced car­bon foot­print, optim­ised resource man­age­ment — that appeal to com­pan­ies and sci­ent­ists who are sens­it­ive to envir­on­ment­al issues.

Deauville: a complete destination for a successful symposium in France

Deau­ville is also a town on a human scale, with everything with­in walk­ing dis­tance: 2 to 5 star hotels (2,200 rooms in total), res­taur­ants, casino and incent­ive activ­it­ies such as golf and horse racing. This unity of loc­a­tion sim­pli­fies logist­ics and enriches the exper­i­ence of par­ti­cipants, wheth­er they come for one day or sev­er­al to Normandy.
