Walking along the river from St Ouen towards Auvers, you come across the old 'Distillerie Haugel'. It is a rather fine building, as others have noted , but I have been able to find out very little about it. I imagine that such a building would be of some interest to Industrial Archaeologists, and, if it were in the UK, to be the subject of a preservation order.
It stands next to another interesting building, an old factory with a high chimney reaching crookedly into the sky. This was once painted by Pissarro, smoke pouring from the stack, but now stands derelict. One wonder whether the CILAC has an interest in either of the buildings.
