Bataville, Industrial heritage site in Moussey and Réchicourt-le-Château, France.

The industrial complex features two parallel rows of standardized concrete buildings alongside a workers' settlement with schools and stores.

Tomáš Baťa established this industrial town in 1931 as part of his international shoe manufacturing network, designing it for 15,000 inhabitants.

The site exemplifies early 20th-century industrial architecture principles, combining manufacturing facilities with residential areas following modernist design.

Two protected buildings, including a five-story structure and a former social center, can be viewed from designated public areas.

Bataville represents one of thirty similar industrial communities created by the Bata company worldwide, with this being the only one in France.
