the website says the geode closed down in 2018 for renovations. the website was last updated in 2022.

wikipedia says the geode is closed til september 2024 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_G%C3%A9ode.

what kinda shenangigans are going on there?

La Geode was an institutional place sold to the Pathé Gaumont cinema group in 2018. I got news in 2022 that the issue was that it's full of asbestos. I heard there is an ongoing legal procedural because it was not noticed in the contract.. I would really like to know more about what they are doing inside. I followed some architectural projects, and they might have removed the imax dome to operate a simpler wide screen + divided the place for others screens. So sad, it was one of the last omnispherical screen in France, there is only one left in Le Futuroscope.

French administration would be my first guess :)
