Manufacture des tabacs de Morlaix, Royal tobacco manufactory in Morlaix, France
The industrial complex spans multiple buildings with classical architecture designed by Jean-François Blondel, featuring symmetrical facades and large working spaces.
Built between 1736 and 1740 under Louis XV's reign, the manufactory reached its peak in 1880 with 1,800 workers producing various tobacco products.
The facility employed numerous local women known as 'butunières' who became an integral part of Morlaix's social and industrial heritage.
The former tobacco factory now houses educational facilities, including the University Institute of Technology and a science center opening in July 2024.
The manufactory maintains its original maritime dock access, which facilitated the transportation of raw materials and finished products during its operation.
