Overview

The municipal slaughterhouses were built in 1922 near Casa-Voyageurs station, to designs by Georges-Ernest Desmarest, replacing the 1908 abattoirs that the growing city had outgrown. Across five hectares, real streets link the administrative buildings, the stables and the 160-metre main hall, punctuated by reinforced-concrete beams spanning sixteen metres. The style blends Art Deco and Neo-Moorish: the hall's monumental doorways are framed by domes and panels of zellige with Sharifian stars. Closed in 2002, the site has hosted a cultural venue since 2009, with concerts, theatre, exhibitions and workshops.
