Le Chien du Balcon

The name Le Chien du Balcon refers to a specific piece of local history tied to the Lamy paper company that once operated in Courbevoie. This identity stems from an early twentieth century photograph that circulated as a postcard, showing a man, a woman, and a dog posing together on a flower-decked balcony in front of a newspaper office. While the image itself originated from a different town, the postcard was printed on paper manufactured by the Lamy firm, which maintained its production facilities right here in Courbevoie. This obscure link connects a simple, charming snapshot from the past to the industrial heritage of the neighborhood, where paper production was once a significant part of the local economy.
