Eiffage surrounds itself with local partners for Ciné Ducs and Supernova

The Eiffage group, through its subsidiaries Eiffage Aménagement and Eiffage Construction which will carry out in Dijon the ambitious project of Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin, unveiled this Thursday September 1st its local partners who will operate the cinemas on the site of the former General Hospital: CinéAlpes, owner of the Devosge and CapVert cinemas in Dijon, and the collective of Eldorado cinema employees also located in the city, grouped together as a cooperative.

Eiffage Aménagement's teams have been carrying out extensive work with local and national cinema operators for several months to define the most suitable programming for the local economy. In the end, two separate cinemas will open: an establishment with 9 screens will constitute a generalist multiplex, named Ciné Ducs, belonging to CinéAlpes, and an independent exclusively art and testing establishment with 4 screens called Supernova, with Scop as operator ( Cooperative and participative company) created by Eldorado employees.

On the cultural level, this is the first time in France that a multiplex cinema and an arthouse cinema will be installed side by side on the same site. These two cinemas, which should welcome 500 visitors per year, will bring innovations in the world of the 000th art: online rental with choice of seats and “love armchairs” for Ciné Ducs, cine-cabaret and open-air cinema on the roof terrace for Supernova…

“The establishment of cinemas on the site of the General Hospital seemed obvious to us from the beginning of the project, explains Jacques Delaine, Director of Eiffage Construction Grand-Est. This proposal was part of our response to the Call for Expressions of Interest: cinemas in this new district will help to bring it to life and bring residents of Dijon and surrounding municipalities to the city center. This will make it possible to mix the public on this site, where the Dijonnais will mix with French and foreign tourists, all attracted by the culture and the art of living in Burgundy. "

The International City of Gastronomy and Wine of Dijon will open its doors in 2019, on the site of the general hospital. Located in the city center, at the gates of the protected sector, this new district will house, in addition to cinemas, exhibition and reception areas, a training center, a hotel, wine bars, restaurants and shops dedicated exclusively to food and gastronomy professions, as well as an eco-district with more than 800 homes.
