Parc forestier de la Poudrerie

The 137-hectare park contains over 300 buildings, numerous walking paths, and a diverse collection of century-old trees spread across the forested landscape.

Napoleon III established this gunpowder factory in 1865 within the royal forest of Bondy, which operated until 1973 and produced 28 tons of gunpowder daily.

The Technical Powder Museum, opened in 1982, preserves the industrial heritage through exhibitions of manufacturing processes and historical equipment from the former facility.

The park maintains regular hours from 8:00 to 19:45 during summer months and 8:00 to 17:45 in winter, with direct access via the RER B train line.

The site features abandoned railway tracks, brick archways, and sand containers that illustrate its industrial past while supporting current environmental preservation efforts.
