The old gunpowder factory in Maromme (Seine-Maritime), near Rouen, has found a new use, reports 76 Actu.
The 17th century establishment had been rebuilt several times following various explosions before being transformed into a spinning mill two centuries later.
This time, this place of local heritage has taken the form of a hybrid zone mixing different shops and activities.
Named the Royal Poudrerie, it was produced by the company la Métropolitaine, which owns and manages it.
An evolving neighborhood
The space is composed of a bakery with a catering area of 450 m².
In the interior gallery there is an optician, a gym, insurance and a nursery, lists the information site.
The Metropolis has also provided a reception for water service customers.
Finally, a complete concierge with laundry and vending machine is also present.
Two premises are still waiting to find buyers.
The establishment of this space is part of a more global project to restructure the district, specifies the local media.
The Friche Lucien, located at the end of the gallery, is also the subject of work to become an “urban guinguette” which will offer concerts and board games, among others.
