Situated between the RER A suburban railway lines, a concerted development zone of small collectives, an old pavilliondistrict and schools, the Rouget-de-Lisle leisure centre meets environmental standards to give a place of well-being to the children of Nanterre, a western suburb of Paris. A series of pavillions hosts activities for children, next to a T-shaped aqueduct. The development faces onto the street leading towards the RER suburban railway and on to a covered playground that offers acoustic protection and where the water from the aqueduct falls.
The forecourt leads on from the pedestrian crossing, and is extended through the building by a transparent hall.
