HANGAR A SUCRE - EX-DOCKS DES SUDS
Description
La Plateforme_: a symbolic bridge between heritage, creativity and the future of education.
In autumn 2025, La Plateforme_ moved into this former sugar warehouse (Hangar à sucre), once the Docks des Suds, now turned into a place for education, training in new technologies and culture.
Here, La Plateforme_ and its community are inventing a learning-in-motion approach: a place of learning that also hosts concerts, craft workshops and moments of connection.
After some renovation work, the venue is ready to welcome the public again, with corporate and cultural events by day and by night. 2,500 sqm divided into several modular, interconnected halls, for events from 50 to 3,000 people.
