Le Pavillon Keller

In Far from the Ring Road, the duo of Parisian cops (Omar Sy and Laurent Lafitte) try to prevent an explosion in an astonishing building transformed into a social center.

Mounted on stilts, with its grayish concrete facade eaten away by time, the Keller Pavilion and its 1,700 m² of space left abandoned fuels the imagination of Isère. Symbol of the deindustrialization of the Romanche valley, it owes its name to Charles Albert Keller, an engineer who made his fortune at the beginning of the 20th century by producing calcium carbide.

In 2000, it was already one of the disturbing locations in Rivières Pourpres, the cult thriller by Mathieu Kassovitz. Nestled in the heart of nature, will the building one day find the buyer it deserves? In the meantime, if you are in the region, it is definitely worth exploring.
