Grands Moulins de Pantin, Industrial mill complex in Pantin, France

The Grands Moulins de Pantin is a red-brick complex rising eight stories between the Ourcq Canal and the Paris-Strasbourg railway line. The building displays Alsatian architectural features, with expansive facades made of red brick and industrial-era details that remain visible throughout.

The Grands Moulins de Pantin were founded in 1884 by the Société des moulins Abel Leblanc on the site of earlier mills, beside the Ourcq Canal and the Eastern railway lines. Rebuilt in 1923 by architect Eugène Haug for the Société des Grands Moulins de Paris, the mill was restored in 1945 by Jean Bailly after the fire of 19 August 1944. Milling stopped in 2001 and the buildings became offices for BNP Paribas Securities Services in 2009.

The name Grands Moulins refers to the industrial flour mills that once operated here; the site's brick is the characteristic material, highlighted in both the preserved buildings and the new ones. The 1926 boiler house, built of refractory brick, now serves as a cafeteria, and the former machine room remains visible in the glass-pierced structure. Since 2010 the permanent light installation Les Moulins de Lumière by Éric Michel has been on the site.

The site is a private office complex for BNP Paribas Securities Services and is not open to visitors. It stands between the Ourcq Canal and the Paris-Strasbourg railway line; the nearest stops are Ella Fitzgerald on tram line T3b and Pantin station on RER E. The brick boiler house, now a cafeteria, and the silo facing the canal can be seen from the public towpath.

The original grain storage towers were converted into contemporary office spaces while keeping their external structure intact. These profiles still dominate the skyline and tell the story of the site's industrial past.
