ACTION 31 Present a full picture of the Grand Paris
Express
Société du Grand Paris is committed to sharing the story
of the Grand Paris Express, its people and its technical
achievements with the public. Because it is keenly aware
of the fact that to be a success, the project must be
understood and accepted by Île-de-France residents,
Société du Grand Paris has implemented a wide range of
dialogue-based educational initiatives. Société du Grand Paris
develops and distributes educational resources to help
the public understand the project on its website, through its
media library, and on social media.
Fabrique du Métro, open to the public
In Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, the Fabrique du Métro is used
to test the furniture, signage, passenger information system,
and other equipment for the network. It has also been open
to the public since 2018 and features models, panels, videos,
interactive multimedia displays, and an immersive 3D image
projection space to help the public understand the project
and its implementation. Visitors can follow a passenger’s path
from the platform to a station plaza. Its visitors are made up
mainly of employees and public-sector partners involved in
the Grand Paris Express project (28%), families and individuals
(23%) and school children (23%).

A closer look around worksites
Guided worksite observation tours were started for the
general public as well as school and extracurricular groups
in July 2019. During these free, open-to-all guided tours,
participants remain outside the construction zone and
watch from the edges of the site. Société du Grand Paris also
invites the public to discover this massive project with open
houses on its worksites and invites Île-de-France residents to
celebrate major construction milestones. Technical exploits
and spectacular events like the launch of a tunnel borer are
accompanied by live performances.
“Classes du Grand Paris Express” programme
Société du Grand Paris Express has created an educational
programme for children and teens of all ages. Since 2017,
it has run a programme that publishes resources about the
Grand Paris Express, its construction and the skills involved,
and implements local educational initiatives in the areas
through which the new lines run. Its educational programme,
which currently targets elementary through secondary
school students, will be extended to university students in
architecture, engineering and urban planning as the project
ramps up.
