II.3.5.k. TOMORROW'S DESTINATION?

MENU: 2.3.5.k. Tomorrow's destination?

RENOVATING THE CHÂTEAU ROUGE MÉTRO STATION, AT THE HEART OF LA GOUTTE D'OR, WAS INDISPENSABLE...
(IT TOOK PLACE IN 2015-2017)

...but why make the stop, which has no connecting lines and that leads only to the distant, run-down neighborhood, the city's most luxurious? 

Hand-painted tiles from Louis XV's Sèvres National Manufactory (founded in 1740)

In brief

  • A métro station's unprecedented face lift
  • The Barbès metro station's accessibility and space for the arts
  • A great 1920's cinema...
  • The wash-house that literature immortalized
  • The City backs the couturiers' cooperative
  • New initiatives: the Institute of Islamic Cultures 
  • A somber exterior for neighborhood culture
  • World and urban culture for the planet?
  • A portal toward the music of the outskirts
