3 – Goodbye Pizza Pino place Wilson!

After 14 years of good and faithful service (at the table), Pizza Pino will close its doors for several months, starting on January 8, 2023. The famous pizzeria will become Volfoni, an Italian restaurant (still), but belonging to the Bertrand group (Burger King, Hippopotamus or Léon).

8 – What future for UGC cinema on the François-Mitterrand esplanade?

Closed since 2 July 2019, the future of the UGC cinema, located on the François-Mitterrand esplanade opposite the Jean-Jaurès metro station, remains unclear. After several rumors such as the arrival of Ikea or H&M (replaced by Maison du Monde), it could be that the FNAC/Darty group finally takes over the premises. A rooftop restaurant-cabaret, but also offices and a gym could see the light of day in this building classified as a Historic Monument in 2019. A new hyper-trendy address for 2023-2024?
