The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Témoin d'une industrie spécifique, l'ancienne rizerie des Alpes date de 1908. Le riz importé par chemin de fer du Piémont voisin était conditionné dans cet édifice, construit par l'architecte Francesco Cattaneo et traité comme un temple antique. Sans affectation depuis 1939, il a servi de marché couvert, de remise de matériel et de salle de sport, et est aujourd'hui inutilisé.

History
Witness to a specific industry, the former rice mill of the Alps dates from 1908. Rice imported by railway from the neighbouring Piedmont was processed in this building, constructed by architect Francesco Cattaneo and treated as an ancient temple. Without use since 1939, it has served as a covered market, a storage shed and a sports hall, and is today unused.
