Social housing complex in Paris' suburb, built between 1973 and 1994.
In the 1980's it was considered as an innovative project, promoting togetherness, incorporating green spaces and shared areas with public housing.
Due to the long construction work, some buildings were already damaged before the completion of the whole set.
Social workers on site were quickly relocated. As the complex fell into disrepair, its demolition was voted in 2004, despite protests from its inhabitants.
