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.

CID, the venue for major scientific gatherings in France: spaces to suit all your needs

Under its eleg­ant glass roof, the CID offers 18,000 m² of mod­u­lar space, designed to meet the require­ments of the most pres­ti­gi­ous events. Here’s an over­view of the facil­it­ies available:

Auditoriums

The 1,497-seat Michel d’Or­nano aud­it­or­i­um is ideal for plen­ary ses­sions at sci­entif­ic con­fer­ences or gen­er­al meet­ings. Equipped with the latest audi­ovisu­al tech­no­logy, it guar­an­tees smooth, cap­tiv­at­ing present­a­tions. A second 223-seat aud­it­or­i­um offers an intim­ate altern­at­ive for smal­ler sessions.

Conference rooms

More than 20 mod­u­lar rooms for 20 to 350 par­ti­cipants are avail­able for themed work­shops, round tables or par­al­lel ses­sions. These rooms, equipped with touch screens and mod­ern facil­it­ies, are ideal for inter­act­ive discussions.

Exhibition halls

With 7,000 m² of car­peted floor space that can be divided to suit your needs, these halls can accom­mod­ate stands, sci­entif­ic posters or product present­a­tions at sym­po­sia or trade shows.

Reception areas

The ter­races with sea views, the cosy Sund­ance space and the Villa Le Cercle - a his­tor­ic man­sion that can be privat­ised for 250 people — offer unique set­tings for cof­fee breaks, cock­tails or gala dinners.

    For the past 3 years, we have been organizing the Normandy Clinical Microbiology Day at the Villa le Cercle of the C.I.D. Deauville, which brings together 70 practitioners from all the hospitals in Normandy and the private sector. Apart from the scientific program, the success of this event is due in particular to the chosen site, the Villa le Cercle in Deauville and to the personalized organizational support of the C.I.D.
    The site of Deauville was identified very early on because it is ideally located at the center of the Normandy road network. It is also an undeniable asset for the invited speakers because of the SNCF line and the town's reputation.
    Easy to access, functional and convivial, Villa le Cercle is an ideal historical place to organize scientific meetings from 50 to 100 people. The three adjoining rooms are bright and offer different spaces for conferences and exhibitors. The outdoor space allows mobility and facilitates exchanges during breaks.
    But the "plus" of this site is the C.I.D. team which year after year positions itself as a proactive partner of the event. The proposed formula includes the sound system of the place, the loan of the projection equipment, and the presence of a technician on site all day. The C.I.D. team organizes coffee breaks and offers several catering options that can be adapted to the organizers' wishes: on site or in a nearby restaurant, in the form of a buffet or seated meal. In short, on D-day, everything is ready to welcome us and talk about medicine and scientific progress in complete serenity.
    Many thanks to the C.I.D. team

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.
