Les Groues

From 2024, the Groues district in Nanterre, partly made up of former wasteland, will give way to a lively district, fully integrated into the city and connected to La Défense and the higher education structures in the area. Well served by the RER E and, later, by the future line 15 of the Grand Paris Express, this living space will be the expression of all the proximity in the west of the Paris region.

A complementary district to La Défense, with exceptional service

A new address is about to emerge in the immediate vicinity of the Grande Arche de La Défense. The urban redevelopment of Les Groues, an atypical 65-hectare sector that has long been landlocked, aims to create a balanced district combining housing, offices, activities, shops and public and private facilities. It will be served from 2024 by the RER E and, by 2030, by line 15 of the Grand Paris Express. This district will also resonate with and contribute to the attractiveness of the Paris La Défense business district and contribute to its attractiveness.

10,500 inhabitants will enjoy pleasant housing in a well-kept setting where nature will have its rightful place. The 12,000 future employees will have the opportunity to work in an innovative and abundant environment, with direct links to the Paris La Défense business district, where they will be able to develop their business activities. And it is this site that the VINCI Group has chosen for its headquarters, L'Archipel, with its 4,000 employees.
