In the immediate vicinity of Place d'Italie, in this part of the 13th arrondissement overlooking the Mobilier National and the Manufacture des Gobelins, the RATP has a large maintenance site for the subway trains on line 6. Immediately adjacent to this industrial enclave surrounded by high walls, Édouard Albert's Croulebarbe tower rises up, a high-rise apartment building with a fine metal structure. The "Italy" site is composed of large workshops and an office building from the 1950s that is to be transformed into a line command post for the RATP and into social housing.
