The area of the Seven Deniers, the Job space is a place for turbulent history. Historically, this building, called the "flagship", housed the Job cigarette paper factory. Remaining unaffected for ten years, he was promised destruction. But it was not counting on the mobilization of neighboring associations, who fought to do what it became: a place open to all that now houses a swimming pool, a theater and cultural activities. Three structures are resident there: the MJC of Twin Bridges, the Music 'Halle Associative Music School and the association of neighborhood 7 animated, offering local animations, workshops for children and adults (choir, aquagym, theater, writing…) and activities around shared gardens. The Job space is also the meeting place of the Job group, which brings together the dozen associations responsible for its creation and today organizes meetings, debates, Republican balls, projections, amateur scenes…
