Benefits & privileges
Contribution to the general interest, employee involvement, local roots… The motivations of the Citadel partners are numerous. In addition to these different values on which your company can base its commitment, joining the Citadel Partner Circle offers you many advantages.
1 – Enhance your image, gain recognition
Contributing to the preservation of a UNESCO site means enriching its identity and integrating the regional, national and international network of UNESCO, but also strengthening its visibility and image. As a partner, your support is highlighted on all communication media related to the supported project:
- Press releases and kits
- Invitation cards
- Posters
- Banners and kakemonos
- Brochures or catalogs
- Website…
2 – Communicate differently
Benefit from an exceptional environment to enhance your public relations. Close to the city but isolated from noise and benefiting from nearby parking, the Citadel has many prestigious and equipped reception areas, ideally distributed throughout the site:
- Saint-Etienne Chapel: its historic charm and the possibility of viewing a multimedia show will impress your guests during your gala evenings or cocktail parties
- Aquarium courtyard: an unusual setting for a cocktail that will set you apart.
- Hangar aux Manœuvres: this vast building built in the 19th century can host your major events (conferences, assemblies, gala dinners, etc.)
- Les Terrasses de Vauban: magnificently located, these vaulted rooms and their panoramic terrace overlooking Besançon will host your cocktails, dinners, meetings or seminars.
- The Ledoux room: this room, made up of three modular spaces, offers you a setting that is sometimes professional, sometimes intimate, for friendly meetings and conferences.
- The Garneret room: the perfect room for work meetings, yours will gain in character thanks to the rich decor with which the room is adorned.
3 – Develop your network
Becoming a partner of the Citadel can also create connections and synergies, sources of new collaborations. Our partners join "The Circle of Partners of the Citadel", a network of dynamic business leaders who share the same values of openness, creativity and dialogue as yours.
The Citadel's partners are regularly invited to meetings reserved for them: Patrons' Circle evenings, invitations to highlights organized by the Citadel (press conferences, openings, etc.) and privileged access to the site and to certain events (preview visits, provision of free admission, etc.).
