The area covers the sub-areas of Leclerc, La Gare and La Nationale.
When the Atlantic high-speed line arrived, at the end of the 1980s, the area south of the station was transformed with the creation of the Novaxis business hub, then of the Novaxud district between Novaxis and the Huisne.

The tramway, opened in 2007, serves the station directly and strengthens its position as a crossroads.
