Architectures - The Menier Chocolate Factory
Synopsis
From 1870 to 1914, the Menier plant at Noisiel was the biggest chocolate factory in the world. But it was also and foremost a pioneer in architectural innovation.
Its construction in iron and then concrete was intended to symbolise the power and modernity of the company. The three main buildings, the Saulnier mill, the world's first completely metallic structure, the Eiffel Hall and the Cathedral, each in its own way, tells the story of the golden age of industrial architecture.
