Papeteries de Lancey, Historical paper mill in Villard-Bonnot, France.
The paper mill complex contains industrial buildings, water pipes from 1869 and 1889, and the residence of engineer Aristide Bergès.
The factory began operations in 1869 with wood pulping equipment powered by hydraulic energy from a local stream.
The former residence of Aristide Bergès now functions as a museum displaying the evolution of paper manufacturing and hydroelectric technology.
The protected industrial site stands at 300 Avenue des Papeteries and received historical monument status in July 1992.
The factory pioneered hydroelectric power production by utilizing a 500-meter water drop to generate energy for paper manufacturing.
