As a partner, your support is highlighted in all communication materials related to the supported project:
- Press Releases and Press Kits
- Invitation cards
- Posters
- Banners and kakemonos
- Brochures or catalogs
- Website…
2 – Communicate Differently
Take advantage of an exceptional setting to enhance your public relations efforts. Close to the city yet secluded from noise, with parking nearby, the Citadel offers numerous prestigious and fully equipped event spaces, ideally distributed throughout the site:

3 – Build Your Network
Becoming a partner of the Citadelle can also foster connections and synergies, leading to new opportunities for collaboration. Our partners join “The Citadelle Partners’ Circle,” a network of dynamic business leaders who share the same values of openness, creativity, and dialogue as you do.
The Citadelle’s partners are regularly invited to events reserved exclusively for them: Patrons’ Circle evenings, invitations to key events organized by the Citadelle (press conferences, art openings, etc.), and special access to the site and certain events (preview tours, complimentary tickets, etc.).
