Buildings visible from Jean Baptiste Clément Boulevard
The 19 m² factory, located near the railway, comprises parallel buildings. The oldest press workshops, dating from before the First World War, have a long-span roof, solid brick and iron-panel walls. There are also three shed-roof workshops, heat treatment and tooling areas, as well as a series of workshops with metal frames and sheet metal walls. A courtyard, partly dedicated to the steel yard, separates these buildings from the maintenance and storage areas. The offices, on the street front, have a square floor, slate walls and a sloping roof.
