Rectangular factory-boarding school of 3 levels and attic with 2 short wings in Tarare, housing a chapel on the second floor.

The Vert Galant site, designed by Jean-Baptiste Martin, is characteristic of an industrial way of life at the end of the 19th century: the industrial boarding school. As such, in 1987, the boarding school factory as well as the facades and roofs of the stables were listed on the supplementary inventory of historical monuments. The mill, built between 1839 and 1844 according to the plans of Toussaint Cateland, is an imposing rectangular building with three levels plus the attic with two short wings backwards. More than 500 young girls, supervised by about twenty nuns, worked, ate, slept and prayed in this austere building. The chapel, located on the second floor, is exceptional for its apparent polychrome frame. The plush and velvet factory also included a weaving factory occupied by "external" workers, which has now been demolished. There is still the owner's castle that dominated the workshops, now in the heart of the hospital centre
