Meanwhile at Porte de Versailles...

Because we miss the traffic jams at Porte de Versailles or the elevator breakdowns at Porte Maillot, here is some news from our favorite places…

In early June, we learned that the Mama Shelter was reopening its terrace and rooftop! Between its opening in December 2019 and COVID-19, we hadn’t been able to enjoy it yet… and the Prologue Team, accustomed to the 20^th arrondissement location, is also waiting for the September return for this reason!

Beyond this news, it reminded us of the transformation of Porte de Versailles that began in 2015. Between the modernization of the Pavilions, the new esplanade with its 360° screen, the incredible structures at the hall entrances, the appearance of hotels…

A few years ago, I was invited to an information meeting organized by Viparis to present the various modernization works… today, it is a reality.

This vast modernization project for Porte de Versailles is also going green with the creation of the world’s largest urban farm on the roof of Pavilion 6. 135 cultivation plots of 1m², available for rent. “Tenants of a plot will have free daily access to the garden, as well as to communal areas and shared equipment (irrigation, sink, cultivation table, compost, green waste management…). They will receive a welcome cultivation kit with seeds” (paris.fr)
