8.1.5. ANOTHER RESIDENCE. GREENING. SCULPTURES. BIKES. GYMS.

CONTINUING ON THE COMMUNARDS' PATH

Varied heights animate the recent architecture. 

The arrow points to a private residence for seniors that City Hall backs.

Sculptures

• Place Nationale, just down the street, before and after the greening of 2025-2026

     The Mystery of the Body, bronze, by Léonardo Delfino, 1980

Enlarging the space, 2025

   

The path that leads to enlarged space

A fête organized by the elders of the association showed above 

• On the other side of the place, a facade that changes with the light

• In front of the building, still on the place, City-sponsored bikes 

 In front of the building-sculpture

A swimming pool that is free for seniors with modest revenues, and a gym. Behind the white building in the background is another refuge for African working-class migrants.

Young trees line streets throughout the area.
