To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the construction of the Framatome site at Paimboeuf, an open day was held on Saturday, September 1, 2018.

More than 1200 visitors attended over the course of the day – the friends and family of employees, as well as retired former employees – for an event prepared by site volunteers.

This sociable and highly anticipated event allowed visitors, young and old, to discover or rediscover the production workshops, the products made and the variety of careers within the industry.

A great time was had by all:

«I had the opportunity to visit the Paimboeuf Framatome site during an open house day. The visit was really interesting. I learnt a lot on what employees do, their know-how. Thanks for welcoming us. It was really great ”said Nathalie, an employee’s guest.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the plant, there was also an exhibition on its history and development, which delved into the memories and origins of a site that is currently experiencing major expansion.

This exhibition is due to go on tour to the La Défense and Lyon sites this autumn. Before then, however, you can relive the history of the site's construction and major developments via video.
