Geocache Description:


Royale des Glaces Paris

The title is misleading; Glaces in French is also mirrors. Hope you were not looking for an ice cream stand! - English Below

L'ancienne façon de faire des miroirs était de mettre du mercure sur le fond du verre. Alors regarde où vous marchez!

La Manufacture royale de glaces de miroirs. Elle se métamorphosa ensuite en compagnie de Saint-Gobain. L'ancien site parisien, situé rue de Reuilly, fut vendu à l'Armée qui y construisit la caserne de Reuilly[

En 1830, la manufacture royale de glaces de miroirs est transférée à Saint-Gobain, dans l'Aisne. Le site parisien est vendu à l'Armée[1]. Les anciens bâtiments sont détruits[2] et une caserne d'infanterie est bâtie à son emplacement.

ENGLISH TEXT

The old method of making mirrors involved putting mercury on the back of the glass. So watch your step!

The Royal Mirror Glass Factory. It later merged with Saint-Gobain. The former Parisian site, located on Rue de Reuilly, was sold to the Army, which built the Reuilly barracks there.

In 1830, the Royal Mirror Glass Factory was transferred to Saint-Gobain, in the Aisne department. The Parisian site was sold to the Army. The old buildings were demolished, and an infantry barracks was built on the site.
