THE FACILITIES AT A GLANCE

Shared kitchen

One kitchen per floor and per corridor, or almost! The kitchens are equipped with induction hobs, ovens and microwaves. But they are mainly places for spending time together cooking, chatting, meeting new people, interacting with others… The kitchens give the pulse to each floor as they are real hubs of life.

Le Cercle (upper cafeteria)

The upper cafeteria is THE place to relax in the ME. It includes two billiards tables, table football, cosy armchairs and coffee tables. At night, Le Cercle is transformed into a community bar run by the residents and is the ideal place for socialising.

Community hall (lawer cafeteria)

For the residents, the community hall or lower cafeteria is THE social venue of the ME. This venue becomes the busiest hub of the ME during parties and events organised by the BDE, the BDA or other associations hosted within the ME after making a request to the caretakers and management. The community hall has a total surface area of 200 m2. It includes a stage, a sound system, a bar with two refrigerators. It can be used free of charge by residents throughout the year to organise birthday parties in the daytime or in the evening. Information about booking terms and conditions can be obtained from management or the caretakers. 

Barbecues

Two barbecues are available to residents near the basketball pitch. These barbecues can be used every day from 12 noon to 10pm. 

SPORTING FACILITIES

Squash court

Available 24/7.

Climbing wall

Also called the cave-room, it is equipped with a 2-metre high wall where you can practice your moves and handholds. You will then be ready to head to the cliffs of the Pilat, our beloved peak.
