Chocolaterie Poulain in Blois, Historical chocolate factory in Blois, France.
The Chocolaterie Poulain building displays classical architectural elements with large windows and detailed stone craftsmanship across its exterior facade.
Auguste Poulain established his first chocolate factory at la Villette site in 1872, following the success of his initial shop on rue Porte Chartraine.
The former chocolate production facility received official recognition as a monument historique inscrit in 1997, marking its role in French industrial heritage.
The building now functions as office space for educational institutions, though visitors can observe its architectural features from Avenue Gambetta.
The factory's main building, known as château Villette, combined industrial functionality with architectural refinement typical of 19th-century French manufacturing.
