Centre culturel de rencontre d’Ambronay
The Ambronay Cultural Encounter Centre (Ambronay CCR) was born from the convergence of a collective adventure, an aesthetic movement - early music - echoing the changes in society at the time, and an emblematic heritage to be safeguarded, Ambronay Abbey.

The Ambronay CCR is a project and a place of hospitality and encounter for artists and people, where music dialogues with the transformations of society.
Thus, located on the site of the Abbey, the Ambronay Cultural Encounter Centre is a place of heritage driven by an artistic and cultural project. It offers a range of activities based on early music and live performances, thus enhancing the value of this historic monument.
