Îlot de la Reine Blanche, Medieval city block in 13th arrondissement, France
The Îlot de la Reine Blanche forms a triangle between Gobelins, Berbier-du-Mets, and Gustave-Geffroy streets, containing buildings from the 15th to 17th centuries.
Queen Marguerite de Provence constructed a manor house in 1290 along the Bièvre River for her daughter Blanche de France, establishing this historical location.
The site transformed from a royal residence to an industrial facility when the Gobelin family established their renowned cloth dyeing enterprise in the 16th century.
Visitors can access guided tours of the historical complex between July and September through the Les Gobelins metro station in Paris.
The buildings feature Renaissance architecture with ashlar stone construction, mullioned windows, spiral staircases, and vaulted cellars from different construction periods.
