__________________________
* Earthenware Choisy-le-Roi: a factory was founded in 1804 by the Paillart brothers. The pottery remains property of the Paillart brothers until 1824, it will then be led by one of the brothers Valentin and his partner Hippolyte Hautin. Hautin Hyppolite and Louis Boulenger took charge of the factory after the departure of Valentin Paillart in 1836. The pottery is Boulenger-Hautin and Co. However, it will wait for the second generation Boulenger in 1863 with Hippolyte Boulenger, for the local pottery is transformed into an industrial success.
