Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Français : Panneau Histoire de Paris « Carrières d'Amérique ».
A la limite de Belleville et de La Villette, la butte de Beauregard a fait l'objet d'une exploitation intente de pierre à plâtre on gypse dans les carrières d'Amérique. Ce nom, attesté dès 1682, n'a rien à voir avec une invraisemblable exportation de plâtre vers le Nouveau Monde. Avec la création in 1838 de la Société plâtrière de Paris, entreprise du banquier Jacques Laffitte, l'extraction prend une extension exceptionnelle. Presque épuisées, devenues un repaire de clochards et de rôdeurs, les carrières sont comblées en 1875 et remplacées par deux éphémères marchés aux chevaux et aux fourrages, de part et d'autre de la place du Danube, tandis que la zone située entre les rues David-d'Angers et de la Solidarité devenait vers 1904 un ensemble de jardins ouvriers.
English: Panel History of Paris "Carrières d'Amérique".
On the edge of Belleville and La Villette, the Beauregard hillock was the object of intense exploitation of gypsum stone in the quarries of America. This name, attested to as early as 1682, has nothing to do with an improbable export of plaster to the New World. With the creation in 1838 of the Société plâtrière de Paris, a company owned by the banker Jacques Laffitte, the extraction of gypsum took on an exceptional dimension. Almost exhausted, having become a den of tramps and loiterers, the quarries were filled in in 1875 and replaced by two ephemeral horse and fodder markets on either side of the Place du Danube, while the area between the Rue David-d'Angers and the Rue de la Solidarité became a set of allotments around 1904. |
