Formerly the public baths of Fontenay-sous-Bois, and later the Municipal Youth Service, Les Bains Douches is now a three-year transitional project that serves as a precursor to a long-term initiative by hosting organizations from diverse backgrounds and gradually opening its doors to the residents of Fontenay-sous-Bois. Plateau Urbain is responsible for activating the space and participates in its programming, operation, and management through a site manager, while planning and setting up the long-term project.
