Arques, the base of Bader

Once upon a time … A paper valley shaped by water, where unique know-how was developed in the world. Along the railway line, on which a train from another era can sometimes be seen, the traces of this rich industrial past remain visible: mills, hydraulic works…

This beautiful history continues to be written today with the activity of the Arc glass and crystal factory, world leader in tableware, the development of the Goudale brewery or the second life of the Fontinettes boat elevator.
