Description
Designed by architect Pierre-Edouard Lambert, a disciple of concrete pioneer Auguste Perret, this mid-century venue opened in 1967. Its balance of volumes and noble raw concrete anchors the building within Versailles' 17th-century golden square. Inside, 3,200 square metres of renovated, modular event spaces accommodate gatherings right opposite the royal château.
