The long brick facade stretching along the Rue de la Convention holds the ghosts of French automotive innovation. Before Citroën transformed this site into a mass-production powerhouse, Andre Mors built his racing cars here, establishing one of the earliest motor factories in Paris. In nineteen twenty-four, the site became the heart of Andre Citroen's industrial empire, turning out thousands of vehicles every year. A solitary, original chimney remains, a vertical brick marker from an era when engines hummed inside these now-quiet walls.
