What do the feature films Hunger Games (by Francis Lawrence), Brazil (by Terry Gilliam) and Big Bug (by Pierre Jeunet) have in common? They all feature scenes filmed at the Palacio d'Abraxas in Noisy-le-Grand. So, if you're dreaming of discovering this unique site designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill in the Paris region, tours are now available in February, March, April and May 2024.
And who better to introduce you to Les Espaces d'Abraxas than a resident of the complex itself? Thanks to training provided by the Conseil architecture, urbanisme et environnement de la Seine-Saint-Denis (CAUE 93), Espaces resident Samir Rouab offers you a guided tour of his neighborhood, including the world-famous Palacio, Arche and Théâtre d'Abraxas.
Les Espaces d'Abraxas, a landmark building in Noisy-le-Grand (93)
In Noisy-le-Grand, just a few minutes' walk from the Noisy-Mont d'Est RER station, you'll discover housing estates with architecture that clearly stands out from the crowd: such is the case of the Espaces d'Abraxas, which, while not necessarily recommended for visits so as not to disturb the residents, has an unfailing architectural charisma.

The tour is recommended for people aged 15 and over, lasts around 1? hours and takes place in the heart of Espaces d'Abraxas, in Noisy-le-Grand, not far from the Noisy Mont d'Est RER A station. Given that Espaces d'Abraxas is a residential area, it's highly inadvisable to go there to shoot photos and videos under normal circumstances, lest you disturb the inhabitants, so these guided tours are the perfect opportunity to discover one of Seine-Saint-Denis' most famous filming locations!
