Le Millénaire

Le Millénaire is a French shopping centre located in Aubervilliers, Seine-Saint-Denis, near the Porte d'Aubervilliers in Paris. It opened in April 2011 and is managed by Klépierre. The centre was designed by architect Antoine Grumbach and built by Bouygues. It features 140 shops, 10 restaurants, and a Carrefour hypermarket, along with 2,800 parking spaces. The centre has faced challenges in meeting footfall targets and has seen several anchor stores leave, but it remains active with a focus on local residents and sustainable development.

Le Millénaire was initiated in 1995 by Jack Ralite, then senator-mayor of Aubervilliers. Designed by architect Antoine Grumbach between 1998 and 2004 and built by Bouygues, the commercial quarter of 56,000 m² of retail space and 17,000 m² of offices was inaugurated on 27 April 2011. The centre was created with an image of sustainable development, featuring 12,000 m² of green spaces and 150 bicycle racks. It is illuminated by 10,000 m² of glass roofs and houses 140 shops over two levels, including 10 restaurants, 6 of which open onto terraces. A planned television museum, TV Cité, was abandoned, and a 12-screen MK2 cinema complex did not materialise. The centre employs at least 500 people, many from surrounding neighbourhoods. It covers a catchment area of one million inhabitants. The centre struggled in 2011-2012 due to accessibility issues and a lack of adaptation to a working-class catchment area. Anchor stores Fnac and Boulanger left in 2012 and 2015 respectively. Attempts to revitalise included obtaining Sunday opening authorisation in 2013, which was later invalidated. The centre repositioned by opening more popular brands like Tati and Burger King, and expanding Carrefour. By 2019, many units were vacant, and by 2024, only about 30 shops remained open out of the 140 planned. The association MaMaMa, fighting poverty among women and babies, moved in in 2024. The centre is served by various transport links, including the RER E, metro lines 7 and 12, tram T3, and several bus lines. A free river shuttle connects from Quai de la Charente.
