The persistent burnt odor is characteristic of magnitude fires. The fire soldiers fought against the flames for four hours until early morning. “About 750 square meters are destroyed, including 300 square meters of dance track,” describes Captain Jean-François Labetowiez, commanding of the Moselle firefighters. The new disco of Amnéville, located in the heart of the leisure area, caught fire on Wednesday April 30 to Thursday May 1. Fortunately, she did not welcome public.
The Ya Famous Club had to operate on the weekend. What was to be a festive place resembles an end of the world decor: the spots of spots on the ground, the soot encrusted everywhere, of large stairs that lead to chaos. Only the administration rooms and an auditorium have been spared.
“Two and a half years of work …”
The Ya Famous Club, open on April 26 on the site of the old I-Max cinema, will not be “the emblematic club of Alsace-Lorraine”, as it announced on its site. Disappointed, the owner of the company could only express his bitterness. “It is two and a half years of work that go up in smoke. »»
Thursday, May 1, it was impossible to know the causes of the fire. “Experts are expected,” says Christophe Jaulin, director of the local public company (SPL) Destination Amnéville Moselle.
No stable project since 2011
A complex game of responsibility will open. The old i-max is the property of the city of Amnéville. In 2018, a concession of works and services had been signed with the SPL. The latter, which aims to energize this city in the city that is the Plateau, is owned by various communities, including the Moselle department in the majority shareholder. “A decree of the mayor of Amnéville issued at the end of April prohibited the opening of the place,” said a source close to the file. Information that did not want to confirm the mayor of Amnéville, Éric Munier, yet on site. An evening was scheduled for Friday, May 2. The inauguration evening took place on Friday April 26, with the singer of R’n’B Jason Derulo at the head of the poster.

For the SPL, it’s a hard blow. The former I-Max (closed in 2011) was intermittently occupied for events: video game fair, Moselle Terres de Jo, etc. But no stable long -term project. The Ya Famous Club, a regional scope disco, was to be a new asset for the Cité des Loisirs, in full renewal.
