It has been occupied for several years by people in precarious situations, supported in particular by the Right to Housing 31. But within a month, the time to find a solution of their rehousing, they must have left the Nanta pavilion according to a decision of the
Administrative Court From toulouse.

This building located at the heart of the Severe, property of the Toulouse University Hospital but made available to the town hall, must indeed be destroyed as part of an urban project. Its demolition should “make it possible to open the La Grave site on the rue du Pont Saint-Pierre and to strengthen the pedestrian link to the Raymond VI garden and the Abattoirs museum, by landscaping”, indicates the town hall.

The latter is committed to dialogue with associations of solidarity, in particular with the Center solidaire Abbé-Pierre “to find a new place for it, while support has also been set up for the association La Cloche”.

This site had become a point of tension, associations denouncing the urban project around La Grave, the creation of housing in particular on this part of the left bank and its gentrification. “The justice has just pronounced today the end of the illegal occupation of the Nanta Pavilion organized by the DAL 31 and the expulsion of the squatters, which constitutes a strict and fair application of the law”, reacted for his part the mayor, Jean-Luc Moudenc (LR).
