There is a new landmark at the Île Seguin, on the banks of the Seine in Boulogne-Billancourt, west of Paris: 'La Seine Musical', a ship-like building complex, which was designed by the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and the French Jean de Gastines. After three years of building time, it was opened in a festive ceremony in the spring of 2017. The timber construction for the auditorium was made by HESS TIMBER from Kleinheubach.
