A congress centre by the beach

Antipolis stands on the Chemin des Sables in Juan-les-Pins, with the Pinède Gould and the beach at its door. It is run by the town's Office of Tourism and Congress, which means a single team handles an event from first enquiry to the final day – rooms, audiovisual, catering, accommodation and even gala evenings.

The spaces

• A 500-seat amphitheatre.
• The Espace Gould, a daylit hall of about 1,600 square metres that divides into three and can seat up to 1,500 for dinner.
• Between five and twelve breakout rooms, named after the greats of jazz: Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles.
• The Espace Méditerranée.

Meetings of 20 to 500 people are its natural scale.

The jazz thread

Juan-les-Pins is the town of the Juan-les-Pins jazz festival, and Antipolis leans into that heritage, with a trail through the building that recalls the festival's great names.

Responsible events

The centre is certified to ISO 20121, the standard for sustainable events, and works with organisers on waste sorting, energy savings and soft mobility.
