The Great Mills of Paris

The Great Mills of Paris is the second main campus of Paris Cité University after the Latin Quarter, located on the Quai Panhard-et-Levassor, Paris.

This campus is part of the Paris Rive Gauche development project, in the area known as “quartier de la Gare”, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

Elle porte le nom de la bataille de Tolbiac, victoire remportée par Clovis en 496 contre les Alamans, en raison de sa proximité avec la rue éponyme.

Historique

Ancienne partie du port de la Gare, cet espace compris entre les ponts de Tolbiac et National en contrebas du quai Panhard-et-Levassor, prend sa dénomination actuelle en 1905. C'est à cet endroit qu'étaient débarquées les céréales des Grands Moulins de Paris.

Aujourd'hui, ce port intra muros conserve encore des activités portuaires classiques.
