Origin and history

The Pantin Water Elevation Plant, located in the Seine-Saint-Denis, was built during the second quarter of the 20th century. This industrial monument met a growing need for water resources management and treatment for the Paris region. The decision on its construction was taken in 1935, marking an important step in the development of local public infrastructure.

The architect Charles Auray was responsible for the design of this factory, whose facades, roofs and floor were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 21 January 1997. This building illustrates the evolution of the industrial techniques of the period, while being part of the architectural heritage of Ile-de-France. Today, the factory is owned by a public institution for inter-municipal cooperation.

The location of the factory, at 49 Avenue du Général-Leclerc in Pantin, reflects its integration into a rapidly changing urban fabric in the 20th century. Although GPS coordinates suggest a slightly different address (122 avenue du Général-Leclerc), official sources, such as the Merimée base, confirm its anchoring in this commune of the little Parisian crown. Its historic role in water management makes it a key testimony to the engineering and public policies of the inter-war period.
