Menier chocolate factory
Noisiel is synonymous with the name Menier , the local chocolate making family . In 1825, the founder of the Menier industrial dynasty, Jean-Antoine Brutus Menier, decided to move his pharmaceutical factory from the Marais district of Paris to the banks of the Marne . In Noisiel, the site of the old mill was ideal. In 1836 he was the first to produce chocolate as a bar. In 1867, his son Emile Justin Menier decided to use the factory exclusively for the production of chocolate. The workforce increased from 50 employees in 1856 to 325 in 1867, at the end of the 19th century almost 2000 people were employed. The reorganization of production in the factory required new buildings along the Marne. As a result, the old village disappeared and the complex reached its present form between 1860 and 1874. The central mill remained as a symbol for Menier.
In 1871, Emile Justin Menier became mayor until 1881, and the parish acquired additional land. As a result, 66 houses and a school for the working class families were built near the factory in 1874. Menier studied models of factory towns in England and took Mulhouse as a model. Single houses of 64 square meters each with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room and a 300 m² garden were built on each side of the street. The garden should complement the family income. At first there was no running water, but there were wells installed in the streets every 45 meters. The houses on the street corners are more opulent and larger and have toilets, they were reserved for employees and engineers. The apartments were rented to workers and employees in order to reach a core workforce. If the employee lost his job, he had to leave his home. The monthly rent was two to six days' wages. By 1911 a total of 85 houses with 311 apartments had been built on an area of 20 hectares. A bath house is nearby, a wash house, a doctor's office for two doctors and a pharmacist. This is complemented by a large number of facilities: supply shops (owned by Meniers until 1912), a canteen for single workers, two cafes, hotels, restaurants, the school for girls and boys, a retirement home and the town hall. The school, a symbol of the rise of the working class, is centrally located on the city's main street, while the church - an architectural industrial building - is a bit on the edge. The plant remains the center of the city and everything is organized around it. The central figure in the village was the company boss, as evidenced by the inauguration of the statue of Emile Justin Menier in front of the school in 1898. In 1963 the factory went into liquidation and the properties were sold in poor condition.
Nestlé France SA has been based in the former chocolate factory since 1996.
