Centre d’Interprétation de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine de Royan (CIAP)
About us
Located on the ground floor of the Palais de Royan, the Architecture and Heritage Interpretation Center welcomes you all year round to help you discover the history of the city of Royan.
The CIAP offers a 500 m² room dedicated to educational activities and two spaces for temporary and permanent exhibitions as well as a shop.
The permanent exhibition presents the architectural and urban evolution of the city, in particular since the development of sea bathing in the 1950th century, then the reconstruction in the 1950s. To make visible what has disappeared and explain the city Today, the route is based on different devices: digital installations, models, projections, touch tables or even a reconstruction of a XNUMXs interior.
The CIAP is designed as an introduction to the territory that the visitor is then led to discover at their own pace, in particular thanks to the other forms of mediation made available to them (documents, guided tours, conferences, workshops, etc.).
