Dating back to the 1910s, this colossal chimney stands tall at an impressive height of 105 meters, making it a dominant feature of the French industrial landscape. The chimney, a holder for gas or a gasometer, was an essential component of the factories that once dotted the region. Its massive and enormous structure served as a testament to the industrial might and progress of the time.
