More details
Jonzac is the capital of the Jonzac district and France's 7th-largest spa town. Jonzac is renowned for its rich heritage (medieval town at the heart of the Cognac vineyards), its environment (green resort, town in bloom) and its many events.
Ideally located in the heart of the Val de Seugne mixed development zone (ZAC), dedicated to leisure activities, the Convention Centre is a place where people can live and socialise, hosting major events as well as being a place to work, particularly suited to corporate events and business tourism.
The Haute-Saintonge Convention Centre won an award at the "Building of the year 2018" ceremony in the "Public facilities" category.
An exceptional environment:
Within its immediate perimeter are : hotel residences belonging to the "Pierre et Vacances" (72 T2 and T3 flats) and "Vacances Bleues" (90 rentals, from studio to T3) chains, a summer leisure centre offering a wide range of outdoor activities, with a navigable lake, swimming area, tree climbing, climbing wall and skateboard ramp, a Maison de l'Energie (an educational centre for sharing experience in renewable energies), two working mills, one of which has a museum area, a casino and the vast Antilles de Jonzac aqualudic complex, with its sports platform, fitness area, lagoon, beaches and tropical greenhouse, which alone attracts more than 400,000 visitors a year. The ZAC offers a wide range of parking facilities, including 200 spaces specifically for the Convention Centre.
The building :
Designed by the Nantes-based architecture firm Tétrarc, the building's futuristic lines evoke a flint monolith. A nod to history, or rather to prehistory, since 50,000 years ago, Neanderthal man cut his stones to make weapons or tools right here, in the rock shelter at Chez Pinaud...
The building follows the sensitive features of the Val de Seugne landscape. To the north, it is set in the valley. To the south, the emerging volume of the building reveals a luminous distribution gallery that culminates around the theatre, the centrepiece of the composition.
In line with the Communauté de Communes' commitment to the energy transition, it meets the need to save energy and make the most of local resources. The 4,900m² complex is heated and cooled by geothermal energy. Designed to meet the comfort needs of the public, artists and local residents, it can be adapted to all types of events thanks to its versatile and modular facilities. It's a modern venue, in the vanguard of today's theatres.
The Haute-Saintonge Convention Centre has been nominated for "Building of the year 2018".
The grand gallery:
Public access is from this single point serving the three booking areas. This large 600 m² hall, with its dynamic volumes, is bathed in natural light. It houses the general reception desk, the ticket office, two cloakrooms and the bar. This walkway sets the scene for the use of the facility: it can be used as a meeting place or a place to relax over a drink. It can also be used as an extension to the agora for a trade fair or exhibition, or as a catering area...
The seminar area :
With a total surface area of 374 m², it is arranged over two levels in the western sector of the building. Fully glazed, its 6 rooms benefit from plenty of light and the plant-covered exterior of the quarry face. As the partitions are modular, they can be enlarged as required to hold up to 130 people.
The Agora :
This large multi-purpose auditorium can be configured as an "Event" or "Show", and can accommodate participants in a company convention, symposium or congress, comfortably seated on a folded-out 572-seat tier (including 13 PRM). An additional 156 seats can be added opposite the generous stage.
In the "Reception" configuration, the retractable bleachers are stored in the compartment provided for this purpose. With a total surface area of 715m², the fully-equipped hall has a standing capacity of 1,518. It can be used for trade shows, exhibitions, fashion shows, meeting forums, debate evenings, celebrations of all kinds or even catering. Large curtains contribute to acoustic comfort, while allowing the opening onto the limestone backdrop to be concealed, if required, as a small open-air theatre.
The Auditorium Theatre :
The Auditorium Theatre has a capacity of 508 (including 17 PRM), offering a refined setting for high-quality events and facilities suited to the role of a convention centre. Waves of twisted rattan, lining the walls and ceilings, create an exceptional décor. This system hides the catwalks and their lighting and ensures that the acoustics are finely tuned, while offering a décor in perfect harmony with the comfort and cosy atmosphere of the seats.
The auditorium is designed as an enveloping shell. Its non-symmetrical shape is designed to meet acoustic requirements. It has three translation booths. Each seat has a retractable table.
Technical areas:
In the acoustic diagram, they form a sound buffer between the agora and the auditorium.
The ground floor contains kitchens, a workshop, areas for receiving deliveries and storing equipment, backstage areas and rear access to the 2 stages. The first floor houses the area reserved for the artists: 7 dressing rooms with sanitary facilities, one of which is collective, a relaxation area opening onto the quarry face, and a catering and entertainment room.
