The new Bercy, renamed AccorHotels Arena at the end of 2015, has completely changed after renovations by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France – Ouvrages Publics and Bouygues Energies & Services. Find out how we redefined this landmark building to better live together.
The AccorHotels Arena has been open to the public for over six months, following its inauguration on 14 October last year by Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, after 18 months of works. Transformed into a modular venue (30 possible configurations in total), the main hall also boasts increased capacity (from 17,200 seats to 20,300).

For example, this is the case with sand, of which the sector is a large consumer.
One of the most significant potential areas for saving energy and greenhouse gases is the thermal renovation of buildings. But we are not renovating enough.
