history
This used to be the Chocolat Meyers factory, a well-known chocolate brand with fans all the way to Paris. Beautiful hand-drawn ads made mouths water with names like Moderne Meyers (dark chocolate with almonds), Le Croqça, Miela Meyers (dark chocolate with honey), and Pailleté Meyers.
But don’t bother running to the store for a bar of Meyers chocolate. The brand disappeared years ago, leaving behind only its grand old factory, now standing empty. As you walk through it, the large factory windows and faded advertising murals bring back echoes of a bygone era.
Over the years, the factory has had many lives. More recently, it was my artistic studio. But at 1,200 square meters, it was simply too big for that purpose. So, with a heavy heart, I decided to let it go.
