Palente Village is at the centre of an area of farmland and orchards, close to the Polygone, an army manoeuvring ground until the middle of the XXᵉ century. In 1952, the Cité des Fleurs was built: apartment blocks, detached and semi-detached houses constructed by the Castors association. In 1958, Lip bought the vast estate and set up a factory and offices. 40% of the workers lived in Palente. In 1973, when the company announced that it was going bankrupt, the employees launched a resistance movement, reinventing the workers' struggle with unprecedented means of action. with unprecedented means of action: self-management, recovery of a war chest, etc. Booking essential
