Paris is going green ! It is this vision of a "greener Paris" that inspired Atelier dada 's project to illuminate the route connecting Gare du Nord , Gare Magenta , and Gare de l'Est .

After three years of studies and construction, frequently interrupted by the COVID pandemic, the first phase of the lighting master plan for the surface link between Paris's major northern railway stations (Nord, Est, and Magenta) was officially inaugurated on September 10, 2022, by the mayor of the 10th arrondissement, Ms. Alexandra Cordebard . Thus, even when technical constraints prevent us from planting natural trees, we can still "plant" in Paris; this time, with light! This is one of Atelier dada’s poetic mottos. In this spirit, the "Joshua" tree luminaire, an innovation from the GHM-Eclatec firm, was chosen by Atelier dada as a luminous totem, creating a signal and marking the route between the three major stations.
