La Macérienne, Industrial heritage site in Charleville-Mézières, France.

La Macérienne is an industrial complex made of yellow stone with large bay windows and ornate carved details along the roofline. The building spreads across several sections with distinctive features typical of late 19th-century factory design.

Adolphe Clément founded the works in 1894 as a manufacturing facility for bicycles and tricycles. The plant later switched to weapons production during wartime before returning to automotive manufacturing.

The factory shows how industry and architecture worked together in this region. Visitors can see how the building combined practical working spaces with decorative stone details that gave the facility a sense of solidity and pride.

The site sits near the historic ramparts of Mézières and is easily reached from the city center via Avenue Louis-Tirman. Visitors should expect a walk through the older parts of town with winding medieval streets and squares.

Hidden in the central courtyard is a nickel-plating building from 1896 that demonstrates early industrial metal treatment methods. This specialized workshop reveals how the factory used advanced production techniques for its time.
