ARLES, FRANCE | LUMA Arles, Parc des Ateliers l 4K Walk

From luma.org:
A former industrial wasteland, the Parc des Ateliers has gradually been transformed into a place dedicated to culture thanks to numerous initiatives launched by the region, local cultural actors and LUMA Arles.
Built between 1844 and 1856, the Parc des Ateliers is a site for the construction and repair of steam locomotives belonging to the company PLM (Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée) which will become the SNCF in 1938. Its installation follows the adoption of the Talabot railway route passing through Arles, defended by Lamartine in 1842 in the National Assembly.
At the end of 1843, the site of the former ancient necropolis of Alyscamps was chosen to install the construction of this large general workshop.
The Parc des Ateliers became a real economic lung and the city's leading employer at the start of the 20th century with more than 1,800 workers on site.
During the Second World War, part of the production was interrupted to meet the needs for the manufacture of armaments, then gradually production began to fall. Locomotive construction and repair techniques are evolving with the arrival of new electric locomotives. The machines and tools of the Parc des Ateliers were no longer suitable, and the site experienced a decline until its definitive closure in 1984.
