Césure is a third place initiative led by Plateau Urbain in partnership with Yes We Camp, focused on sharing knowledge and skills. This state-owned site is made available by EPAURIF, pending its renovation and conversion.

In this vast 25,000-square-meter space, 200 organizations—including artists, artisans, associations, startups, and social and solidarity economy entities—interact daily with 2,000 students from five different schools. Thus, Césure becomes a testing ground for inventing new ways to learn from one another and combat precariousness.

Here you’ll also find a cultural, artistic, and festive program across a variety of spaces, including a lively, socially conscious, and committed cafeteria and snack bar dedicated to sustainable and community-focused food, an Emmaüs Campus store, an amphitheater, a 1,000-square-meter open-air plaza, and much more to discover!
