Sucrerie de Francières, Sugar and spirits factory in Francières, France
The industrial complex features four-story red brick buildings along the RD 1017 road, connecting Paris to Lille, two kilometers west of Francières village.
Founded in 1829 by César-Auguste Thirial through Thirial, Bertin et Cie company, the facility operated continuously until its closure in 1969.
The site includes a documentation center dedicated to sugar industry history, presenting the evolution of agricultural processing methods in northern France.
Located 18 kilometers from Compiègne, the interpretation center offers educational activities every Wednesday morning for children aged 7 to 12.
The facility expanded in 1855 with the addition of a beetroot alcohol distillery, marking its transformation into a dual-purpose industrial installation.
