During the 2016 Coulisses du Bâtiment from 13-15 October 2016, an open day for construction sites and workshops, and organised by the Fédération Française du Bâtiment, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France is opening the doors to six of its sites to show both students and employees what goes on behind the scenes. Focus on days packed full of discovery, with Jacques Chanut, chairman of the Fédération Française du Bâtiment.
The former industrial site that once housed the Marchal plant, located on Rue Méhul in Pantin. Built here are the social housing units for rent, commercial premises, and houses and apartments designed for first-time buyers. Not to mention the forty-four housing units being renovated and the 167 new parking spaces! To find out more about this Brézillon project, click here.
The New Longchamp Racetrack
Day visitors have been impressed by this new racetrack with its 70,000-person capacity and 10,000-seat Jockey Club box. For more information about this gold-standard facility, designed by Ouvrages Publics, that will soon showcase French horseracing’s finest: http://nouveaulongchamp.com/
The structural work is now complete for work package 7 in the western sector of the Clichy Batignolles Urban Development Zone, where we were able to tour the Construction Privée site for a seven-floor office building topped with a mezzanine floor and a photovoltaic roof. The building is compliant with France’s 2012 heating regulations and is High Environmental Quality (HQE) certified. It is also a part of the City of Paris’s Energy Climate Plan. Building O7 will become one of the major fixtures of the new Batignolles eco-neighbourhood’s future service sector. What an achievement!

Habitat Résidentiel’s construction site at 6 Allée Lucie Aubrac in Issy-les-Moulineaux.
What are the special features of timber constructions?
The site’s three levels of twenty-three housing units feature exterior insulation, smart home technology, and prefabricated timber panelling made out of an innovative material called CLT (cross-laminated timber). This building is also one of the first to earn low-carbon certification (BBCA) in France!
With a minimalistic, rustic aesthetic, the nine townhouses, located in the 19th district of Paris and built by Bati-Rénov, http://bati-renov.eu/
are built around an interior garden, similar to a square in the middle of a small village, which limits views of the neighbouring buildings. What’s more, the structure of the buildings is made out of an innovative material: CLT.
Last but not least, the Louvre post office! This post office, located at 52 Rue du Louvre, closed its doors in 2015 for major renovations. When it reopens in 2018, La Poste will occupy just 10,000m² of the building’s total 35,000 m² space. The rest will contain a luxury hotel (7,200 m² with a panoramic deck), social housing units (1,200 m²), offices (10,000 m²), businesses (2,300 m²), a nursery, and a police station. Rénovation Privée had to repair all the flooring of the superstructure. As a result, the metal structure designed by architect Julien Guadet is once again visible.

Many school pupils and students have RSVP’d saying they will be attending this open day to learn about our industry and construction sites.
