A direct action occupation originally organized by the Comité populaire St-Jean-Baptiste in the context of a FRAPRU campaign. Over time, the occupants decided to transform the squat into a “social centre for different political and community actors. The occupants still demand that the city build social housing, but want this space to be a place for organizing struggle, a self-managed space.” The initiative gave birth to La Page Noire, a self-managed social bookstore.

The squat lasted from 17 May to 20 September 2001.
