Over the past ten years, numerous scientific and activist works have shown an increased interest in the situation of exiled populations relegated to the borders of multinational, national and urban territories. These works deplore the forms of institutional violence inflicted on exiles, condemned to wander on the fringes of societies and to take refuge in informal spaces such as camps. The Halte humanitaire of Paris-Centre, as a reception structure for exiled people, allows us to take another look at the situation of exiled populations and their reception methods, at other forms of political pressure and other limits to hospitality than those imposed by the institutions. Drawing on this case study, this chapter discusses the modes of common organisation implemented to materialise the exiles’ reception in a “city of refuge”. This work gives an account of the relational and conflictual spaces built around the figure of the exile, propelled into the heart of the urban space. The reception methods of the Halte oscillate between centrality and marginality, integration and exclusion, and the visibility and discretion of urban migration policies. They depend on the compromises imposed by the elected politicians and the Halte’s coordinators as on the management of space in the building. Thus, this chapter aims to show how diversity can be both promoted and controlled through the organisation of space in exiles’ everyday life, on a local scale, and in the heart of the urban space.
