About the location

Maison des Métallos
94 rue Jean-Pierre-Timbaud 75011 Paris
  • Paris
  • Île-de-France
In 1881, at 94 rue d'Angoulême (now rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud), the Maison Couesnon was founded. Manufacture of copper musical instruments, world renowned for the quality of its instruments, Couesnon is the first manufacturer of musical instruments to have introduced the steam engine in its industries. Following the economic crisis of 1929, the company, which sells a lot of instruments to American jazzmen, had to reduce the sail to finally give up the buildings, in 1936\. That same year, with the Popular Front, the workforce of the Métallurgie de la Seine went from 10,000 to 250,000 unionized workers. The money from the contributions is invested in real estate, including 94 rue d'Angoulême in order to have large enough premises to develop activities tenfold compared to the tens of thousands of new members. The House of Metallurgists is inaugurated on May 2, 1937 and becomes a high place of trade unionism, managed by the Union Fraternelle des Métallurgistes, a branch of the CGT dedicated
