the essentials The historic Fenassiers district is getting a makeover. After a renovation project which lasted almost a decade, the inhabitants of Colomiers will be able to rediscover this new space in the city.
For some this place was a wart, for others it is the historic place where they grew up. In any case, and despite divergent opinions, it remains one of the symbols of the city of Colomiers. Les Fenassiers is above all a district with a history. In 1960, the buildings were erected to accommodate returnees from Algeria.
Over the decades, the town expanded, other residences emerged in Colomiers, and Fenassiers began to age. “It has suffered the wear and tear of time,” recalls Karine Traval-Michelet, mayor of Blagnac. I remember that some residents put umbrellas in the kitchens because there was so much water damage.”

The place became dilapidated, the accommodation was very poorly insulated. Delinquency was also a scourge. In 2010, the city of Colomiers launched an urban renovation project with the aim of revitalizing the space and providing greater comfort to residents. Public meetings with residents and various studies were carried out.
