Portail de la Chocolaterie, Historical chocolate factory gate in Blois, France
The entrance gate of the former Poulain chocolate factory stands at 12 Rue de la Chocolaterie, marking the entrance to an industrial complex.
The Poulain chocolate factory operated at this location from 1862 to 1991, when production moved to the nearby town of Villebarou.
The gate represents the industrial heritage of Blois, where chocolate manufacturing shaped the economic development of the region during the 19th century.
Visitors can view the gate from Tuesday to Saturday between 14:30 and 19:00, with several parking options available in the surrounding area.
The site now houses the National Institute of Applied Sciences, while maintaining its original industrial architecture and historical gate.
