Situated beneath the famous road, this long strip of land had become derelict over the years. So the Ile-de-France municipality decided to take action. In the spring of 2025, this former vast unused area under the viaduct will open its doors to the public, who will be able to discover an open-air gallery dedicated to street art While the former draws its inspiration from nature to create works combining warm colors the latter stands out for its unique"Iconosaik" style A little further on, our eye is quickly drawn to Huge's incredible fresco The Swedish-born artist is known for his photorealistic helium balloon style Huge wrote "LE SPOT" in traditional letters We continue our tour and discover murals by PichiAvo, the famous Spanish-Mexican duo, Piet Rodriguez and WOSKerski The London-based urban artist has created two incredible realistic-style works for LE SPOT:"Laundry day" and"Le Eggsplosion" which can even be seen from the Quai de Polangis The trompe-l'oeil fresco by Portuguese artist Vile set against the backdrop of the surrounding biodiversity And let's not forget Astro's impressive work was tasked with painting the entire ceiling beneath the freeway A huge fresco that took a month to complete and mobilized a total of four people with 400 planted specimens and 30,000 plans between Quai de Polangis and Avenue Jean Estienne d'Orves To create an " urban lung" for families and residents of Joinville-le-Pont Finally, because LE SPOT aims to be a place dedicated to young people, the Ile-de-France site will also feature sports areas, including a skatepark, two " pump tracks " for BMX enthusiasts, a huge " Parkour " area, a climbing course as well as two 3x3 basketball courts and two 5x5 soccer fields. These sports areas are scheduled for completion in early 2025. They will be built by Playgones a company specializing in the installation of urban sports furniture with whom Notorious Brand has worked closely to harmonize the colors of the modules and pitches with the various works of art on the site The new sports and leisure area will be open to all. It " embodies the city's strong commitment to the vitality and well-being of its residents.

It housed a successful film studio where a number of French and American films were produced from 1910 all of the way to 1987 when it eventually closed. Alongside this film heritage, Joinville eventually housed ‘Tativille’ in the director’s next film, Playtime a huge metropolis of skyscrapers and blocks created solely by design which took longer to construct than the actual film itself most present in Mon Oncle and indeed opens the film; the rustic old French streets deliberately shown in stark contrast to the building sites of the new suburbs “Geometric lines do not produce likeable people.” It was the real Joinville where he found a warm Though much of the film was shot at La Victorine studios in Nice the film’s title – scrawled in chalk on an old brick wall – is was shot the Joinville area After the credits have appeared on building site signs we cut to a pack of dogs led by the sausage dog that lives in Villa Arpel from the older roads and scrublands to the straight streets of concrete walls enjoying the derelict space in between and the area’s many archaic lampposts the pack of dogs were largely unplanned and built into the film Tati becoming so attached to them during recording that he later found them homes once the filming had concluded Travelling to the suburb on a lonely winter’s day I went in search of this very particular wall It stands at the intersection of a quiet street not far from Joinville-le-Pont station travelling alongside the water of the Marne The new buildings along the high street almost knowingly mimic Playtime designs The area cannot shake his vision and I later visited the road further along named after him Allée Jacques Tati as well as the statue that now commemorates his film further up the street as has an old lamp post though since moved and of a design slightly younger than that seen in the film The wall stands between Rue de Paris and Rue de la Procession and it’s not difficult to imagine Monsieur Hulot suddenly zooming around the corner on his VéloSoleX The building which once stood next to the wall has been demolished and replaced with a plain new build Tativille and its straight lines was always going to win in the end though it’s pleasing to find a few of the old walls still standing in quiet rebellion just as Monsieur Hulot would have wanted With thanks to polaroidoriginals.com LWLies 107: The Sinners issue – Out now!

Text description provided by the architects From cultural requalification to urban identification Implanted in the district of lower Joinville on the avenue of General Gallieni, the municipal School of dance in Joinville-le-Pont is a response to the cultural approach of the town. © Julien LanooThe Avenue du General Gallieni as a future Metropolitan Avenue is a busy main road; its traffic is intense, noisy, but the vibrant living environment brings a growing centrality on this thoroughfare. The dance school is implanted in a heterogeneous streetscape, ranging from more or less recent apartment blocks and well preserved pavilions. © Julien LanooSet back from the boundary of the land plot, the project breaks the street frontage built along the avenue to extend the public space and to reach a courtyard. This justifies the access to the amenities, marking a break in the continuous chain of shops at ground floor. © Julien LanooStructure, space, movement The narrow and deep site is wedged between a 4-storey apartment building in the east and a small supermarket in the west. This geometry influences the insertion of a simple volume, necessarily detached, the aim of which was to free as much space as possible to accommodate large and generous dance studios. © Julien LanooThe structure consists of lateral concrete walls placed on the parcel boundaries which carry wide open floorplates, naturally lit and with an uninterrupted view over the horizon. © Julien LanooBy strictly dividing the program between circulation on the avenue side, and the functional spaces and the garden areas on the interior, the school on the one hand optimizes the flow and circulation and on the other hand the solar orientations. SectionTherefore, dance studios benefit from an optimal natural lighting from the north while the vertical circulations overlooking the avenue Gallieni, receive southern light that projects long shadows. Minimalist interiors and raw materials such as varnished concrete, metal, contrasts with the precision of the outer shell of the building. Consisting of a perforated metal veil forming a regular diamond pattern, the envelope is designed as delicate lace, a goldsmith's work; it functions as a filter, rather like a moucharabieh that filters light without altering views. The Dance School is significant by its difference with its mineral context and suburban buildings. © Julien LanooIt is inserted as an unusual object capable of arousing perplexity and curiosity of the passersby so that its simple form looks like a monumental minimalist sculpture The identity of the building brings curiosity You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email have reaped bumper profits over the past year.The company told Reuters that lower feed costs had led it to cut selling prices in supermarkets by 2% this month and that further cuts were planned.Under pressure after forcing through an unpopular increase in the retirement age President Emmanuel Macron's government is eager to be seen tackling citizens' everyday problems with surging food prices high on the list.France is not alone in its concern with governments in countries ranging from Italy to Britain also considering exceptional measures to rein in food price inflation.While Macron and his team try to strong-arm producers into lowering prices consumers see few options in the short term."The first thing is to cut back on expensive products a bit less alcohol," said relaxation therapist Daniel Dotti another Joinville-Le-Pont shopper.Reporting by Leigh Thomas additional reporting by Sybille de la Hamaide and Lucien Libert; editing by John Stonestreet Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab , opens new tab Browse an unrivalled portfolio of real-time and historical market data and insights from worldwide sources and experts. , opens new tabScreen for heightened risk individual and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. © 2025 Reuters.

François Cavanna, the late editor of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, who grew up in Nogent-sur-Marne, wrote about swimming in the river in his childhood memoir Les Ritals The curfew imposed in 1940 during the German occupation dealt a severe blow to the industry the rise of rock music and the twist in the 1960s sounded the death knell for the accordion and the bal musette More and more Parisians also began travelling beyond the city’s suburbs preferring to vacation at beach or mountain destinations Article published in the July 2021 issue of France-Amérique.
