This is a first for the Société des Grands Projets (SGP). It has decided to join forces with the European Heritage Days to open the doors of several Grand Paris Express construction sites to the public.
From 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., without reservation, curious people will be able to go behind the construction site fences this Saturday to discover what is going on in the future station in their neighborhood.
Theme of the visits: architecture and art at the heart of the stations. The architects and artists will act as guides for a day for groups of visitors to discuss their project while the construction teams will present the progress of the construction sites.
Please note that on-site reception will be provided subject to availability.
For the occasion, the SGP has decided to lift the veil on eight stations in the Paris region.
