Those issues are just some examples of thematics which can be discussed in our different fields of activities:

The Seine-Saint-Denis Department, symbol of a Paris in expansion

Located right next to the Northeastern arrondissements of Paris, Sein-Saint-Denis is fully part of the Greater Paris, notably through the project of the ‘Grand Paris Express’, and its new lines of public transportation that will particularly well serve the department.

Highly industrialized since the end of the 19^th century, this area has known a period of de-industrialization at the end of the seventies, revealing numerous industrial wastelands. These derelict factories and abandoned buildings have become the flag of the ‘City of Tomorrow’: eco-neighborhoods, cultural and creative centers, high-tech companies, hybrid places combining fablabs, collaborative working spaces, business incubators, urban agriculture and schools are more and more numerous and represent the future of an extended and easily reachable capital city.

These changes have led Seine-Saint-Denis Tourism Board to imagine new forms of touristic development and promotion. The tourism development agency has been a pioneer if the field of collaborative tourism, including industrial visits, visits of worksites and urban walks. It also encourages projects linked to transient urbanism thanks to a large ecosystem of actors in connection with the social/solidarity-based economy.
