A few years ago, in 2017 to be exact, Seguin Island, located on the outskirts of the capital, experienced a little revolution with the opening of the Seine Musicale. Nine years later, it's getting ready to be transformed once again, with the completion of the La Pointe des Arts project... We’ll tell you more about this fabulous cultural project.

This is a huge project that is finally about to come to life in Boulogne. By the end of the year, a massive cultural complex will be rising on the Île Seguin, after several months of construction. On the agenda: a gigantic art center, a cinema, as well as all kinds of shops that will transform the image of the old factories and former Renault workshops.

It will feature a Pathé cinema with eight screens on 6,000 m² (one of the largest in Europe), 7,500 m² of shops and restaurants, a 4-star hotel, and a garden of monumental sculptures spanning 3.5 hectares, all together forming the Pointe des Arts. To connect this area with La Seine Musicale, a 22,000 m² commercial and office complex will be built in the upcoming months or years.


The End is Near

Good news! After months and months of construction and work, you won’t have to wait much longer to discover this extraordinary new area. Indeed, starting in the summer of 2026, most of the amenities will be accessible, including the hotel spa and pool, q

They will be open to the general public by reservation, as well as the cinema! The art center, on its side, will be operational in the fall. The opening of line 15, which, although delayed time and time again, should not take long, will allow for even more people to flow onto the island, which expects to welcome between 2 and 3 million people each year.
