Siège de la Documentation française, Government archive building in Aubervilliers, France
The Documentation Française headquarters occupies a former match factory complex with metal structures and multicolored brick walls at 124 Henri-Barbusse Street.
In 1900, the State Manufacturing Department initiated the complete reconstruction of the match factory site, entrusting the project to engineer Guerquin.
The factory site represents an essential element of French industrial heritage, marking the transition from match production to government documentation services.
The building now serves as the central location for French administrative documentation, operating under the authority of the Prime Minister's office.
The facility contains the last remaining unmodified chimney from the Parisian region's match manufacturing era, surrounded by period-specific industrial architecture.
