Cartoucherie de Bourg-lès-Valence, Industrial heritage site in Bourg-lès-Valence, France.
The Cartoucherie complex features notable 19th-century industrial architecture with a prominent chimney and multiple connected buildings spread across the property.
Built in 1855 as a textile factory, the site transformed into a national ammunition factory in 1874 when the French government purchased the facilities.
The former ammunition factory has evolved into a creative center where numerous companies focus on cinema, animation, and digital image production.
Located on Rue de Chony, the site maintains regular opening hours for its gardens while interior access depends on scheduled events and exhibitions.
The factory employed 3,000 workers during World War I, mainly women who manufactured ammunition for the French military forces.
