The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1874, la compagnie générale des allumettes chimiques rachète une fabrique d'allumettes. En 1900, la direction générale des manufactures de l'Etat décide de reconstruire entièrement le site. Le chantier est confié à l'ingénieur Guerquin. D'autres bâtiments seront construits en 1914, 1937, 1956 et 1957. L'usine ferme en 1962 et est reprise par les services techniques de la Documentation Française en 1967. Le site est le dernier témoin des manufactures d'allumettes sur la région parisienne. La dernière cheminée non tronquée est entourée de bâtiments à structure métallique hourdis de briques polychromes.

In 1874, the Compagnie Générale des Allumettes Chimiques bought a match factory. In 1900, the Directorate General of the State Manufactures decided to completely rebuild the site. The work was entrusted to engineer Guerquin. Other buildings were constructed in 1914, 1937, 1956 and 1957. The factory closed in 1962 and was taken over by the technical services of the French Documentation in 1967. The site is the last evidence of match manufactures in the Parisian region. The last uncut chimney is surrounded by buildings with metal-frame structure and polychrome brick infill.
