ANCIENNE USINE DES TABACS
A reminder of an important industrial past, the walls of this building pay magnificent tribute to the former tobacco workers.
In 1871, the Le Mans site, near the port and railway line, was chosen to replace the tobacco factories in Alsace. The city acquired the land and offered it to the State, which created a large number of jobs, mainly for cigar workers. In 2020, artist Héol Jeffroy paid tribute to these women workers with his monumental and magnificently colored fresco. The building cannot be visited, but the beauty of this pictorial testimony can be appreciated.
