Les Ateliers des Capucins is an enormous 19th century workshop complex that belonged to the naval shipyard. It is located on the high bank above la Penfeld, right next to the historic shipyard on Rue Saint Malo. The complex is the starting point of a modern cable car that takes you to the center on the other side of the river (Place de la Liberté/Rue de Siam) with a view of the city panorama. Even from the equally huge observation terrace you have a fantastic view of the shipyard and the panorama. The gigantic interior is unique: the heart of the complex is huge open spaces with wonderfully smooth floors, where children can skate, ride scooters or play under the glass roofs. Here and there relics from the industrial past are set up: a blacksmith's hammer, a huge ship's propeller, a gigantic lathe. The highlight is the white and gold state barge Napoleon I, displayed in a corner under a mirrored ceiling, with raised oars, a veritable crown and all kinds of golden sea creatures. The bow is decorated - as befits an emperor - by Poseidon himself. To the side of the hall there is a theater, a cinema, a climbing park, a large cultural library, a restaurant passage, a small brewery, co-working spaces and much more.
