A former factory built in 1890 by a family of industrialists, the factory is best known for having been immortalized by the Lumière brothers in 1895, appearing in the very first film to depict a factory in cinema. Partially destroyed in 1945 by bombing raids, it was abandoned in 1970 before being given a new lease of life by architect Éric Daniel, who turned it into a cultural landmark for the town of Ivry in 1990. Today, it is home to the Théâtre des Quartiers d'Ivry, a Centre Dramatique National whose mission is to promote, teach and support contemporary creation.

Please note that, for these Heritage Days, booking is recommended, but not compulsory. Who would like to discover this place of history and culture?
