A LITTLE HISTORY The Cromot association is located in the Halle Jourdain, in the heart of the building complex of the Hotel Cromot du Bourg dating from the early eighteenth century. During the revolutionary period, the buildings were sold and housed until the early nineteenth century many activities. An artistic turn took place around 1827 with the arrival of the piano manufacturer Pleyel in the salons, where Frédéric Chopin made his first public concert. Other activities will follow in the hotel with for example the arrival of a photography studio, an «industrial art» studio and the collection of works of Dutuit patrons. The hall was built in 1881 by the architect Frantz Jourdain, known for his work on La Samaritaine. It housed the Imprimerie Nouvelle, a workers' association created during the Paris Commune, «independent of any official or other attachment, in which the worker, now a citizen, must seek ways to improve his lot and conquer his place in society».
Opened in early 2023, Cromot is an artist and production house that offers to pool tools at the service of creation: three rehearsal studios, office and coworking spaces, meeting rooms and meeting spaces, a factory workshop. Dedicated above all to professionals in the performing arts, Cromot aims to encourage synergies between different professions and to promote research, experimentation and creation.
