Temporary occupation of a former public building in central Marseille, led by Yes We Camp with Groupe SOS and Plateau Urbain. It combined workshops, offices, emergency accommodation, a solidarity canteen and public space open to all. It closed in December 2023 when Marseille Habitat began works to build social housing, although the future project is expected to retain some of the social uses.
