The Center Pompidou is the fifth busiest tourist site in Paris with more than three million visitors per year. Since mid-October and nearly 100 days of strike, the agents have been worried about their future from the summer of 2025.

In total, according to a union source, Beaubourg had to completely close its doors for 24 days and partially for 19 days. The agents asked for guarantees regarding the maintenance of positions and salaries during the five years of closure. The question of outsourcing certain services such as reception or surveillance was of particular concern to unions.
