Origin and history
The former service station of the Pont de Paris, located in Corpeau in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is an emblematic monument of the 3rd quarter of the 20th century. Designed by architect Gremeret, it is distinguished by its modern and sculptural style, marked by a concrete mast and a curved stripe that make it a visual landmark along National Road 6. Its harmonious integration into the local landscape reinforces its heritage interest, combining functionality and bold aesthetics.
Classified Historic Monument by order of 20 July 2012, this service station retains original elements such as the shop building, the access road with its slide, a street lamp, and the remains of the pumps. These details, combined with its characteristic matte signal, illustrate the evolution of the road and commercial infrastructure of the time. Together, this shows a period when the automobile was transforming landscapes and lifestyles, while reflecting the architectural innovation of the Thirty Glories.
The station's location, close to the crossroads between National Highway 6 and the Ébaty Road, underscores its strategic role in the road network of the time. Although its geographical accuracy is assessed as "satisfactory a priori" (note 6/10), its official address (2 Routed'Ébaty) and cadastre (AK 16) firmly anchor its history in the territory of Côte-d'Or. Today, its protected status makes it a rare witness to the utilitarian and modern architecture of the second half of the twentieth century.
