        Built in the 1920s, this distillery produced beet alcohol for the chemical industry or the pharmacy, and sometimes also for local consumption... During the Second World War, the alcohol was used to run Parisian buses, so in fuel shortage. The Germans having installed a military battery there, it was the site of a violent battle to ensure the liberation of Paris. The activity of the distillery stopped in 1952.

        It was then used as a setting in several films including "Diabolically yours" by Julien Duvivier with Alain Delon in 1967, and "36 quai des orfèvres" by Olivier Marchal. In 1973, the building hosted the entire crew of the film "The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob", directed by Gérard Oury. But only one outdoor scene was shot there, and the silhouette of the building only appears once at the beginning of the film.

        Abandoned, having even served as a landfill, it was recently renovated to be transformed into a dwelling and a reception area.
