Parc Georges-Brassens

You are standing on land that once served a vastly different purpose than the tranquil greenery you see today. Before this became a public park in the mid-nineteen eighties, the site housed the Vaugirard slaughterhouses, a massive industrial complex that operated from the late nineteenth century until the late nineteen seventies. The area was a central hub for the processing of cattle, sheep, and horses, serving as a critical part of the capital's meat supply chain for nearly a century.
