Heritage classified

Origin and history

The former Paris-Sud coke gas plant is an industrial monument located mainly in Choisy-le-Roi (Val-de-Marne), with protected elements reported on the neighbouring town of Alfortville. Classified as a Historical Monument, this infrastructure illustrates the technical heritage associated with the production of gas and coke, a major activity during the industrial era in the Paris region. Its official address at the Mérimée base (94600 Choisy-le-Roi) and its approximate GPS location (Captain Alfred Dreyfus's Rue in Alfortville) underline its territorial anchor between these two cities.

Available data from sources such as Monumentum remain limited on the precise historical details of this coking plant. No date of construction, period of activity or milestone event is explicitly mentioned in the archives consulted. The location is considered "passible" (note 5/10), indicating relative geographic uncertainty, possibly related to the extent of the site or subsequent urban changes.

This type of factory once played a central role in the energy supply of cities, while marking the landscape with its utility architecture and technical infrastructure.
