Presentation

Over the past decade, the Fives Cail eco-neighbourhood has been undergoing a transformation and continues to flourish. It is preparing to welcome a big name in French pastry... can you guess who? A guide and a professional from Soreli invite you to explore its industrial history, the memory of its workers and the expertise of the Fives-Cail-Babcock factories, as well as its transformation into a sustainable, lively, productive and friendly neighbourhood.
