They call them “The Cathedrals of Work” and people come in droves when the chance arises to go inside to see how our grandparents and great-grandparents worked. Today, we visit an antique hat factory.
I find myself in front of the entrance to an old factory that has been abandoned for decades. The ancient building has a sad appearance: the walls are crumbling, and the windows are partly without glass, giving the impression of a homeless person who no longer even asks for alms.
This impression is increased further by a luxury clothing shop with an entrance in the same building on the right.
I turn towards the access road. A crowd waits to enter and many, very many, arrive every minute. But they don't have to go into the store, there's no sale. They have to visit the abandoned factory. Because today, for one day, you can visit the building accompanied by a guide.
