The Gare Numérique
in Carpentras
The Gare Numérique becomes a digital totem managed and facilitated by Provence Créative. Everything was built around the idea of a third place, orchestrated around physical or virtual spaces, to foster encounters between people with varied skills that were otherwise not necessarily destined to cross paths.
