  The electron beam orbit stability has been significantly improved at synchrotron SOLEIL. Low frequency noise sources have been localized and identified: the fans installed on the storage ring to cool down the ceramic chambers of the kickers, shaker and FCT, were slightly wobbling the electron beam orbit at 46, 50, 54 and 108 Hz. The localization method and the solutions that will allow reducing the noise from 0.8 μm RMS down to 0.3 μm are presented. Besides, a new 160 m long beamline, NANOSCOPIUM, is being installed on a canted straight section. Its photon beam position stability requirements are very tight calling for the following improvements: addition of 2 more BPMs and fast correctors in the orbit feedback loops, new INVAR stands for BPM and XBPM integrating Hydrostatic Level System sensors. The paper is also discussing other projects that did or will contribute to improving the beam orbit stability: installation of 145 temperature sensors on the storage ring, a new analog feedforward correction system for insertion devices, and the use of the bending magnet X-BPM measurements in the slow and fast orbit feedback loops.
