L’Usine – R. Graupner
Factory-style walk-through attraction
Operator: R. Graupner
L’Usine Graupner is a travelling walk-through attraction run by showman R. Graupner. The French name means “the factory” and gives the attraction its industrial theme. Here, you walk through a course instead of sitting in a car. That makes L’Usine a popular attraction for families at French fairs such as the Foire de la Saint-Denis in Saint-Quentin.

What to expect at L’Usine Graupner
You enter the factory and explore the course one station at a time. Walk-through attractions typically feature wobbly floors, narrow passageways, stairs and other obstacles that call for good coordination and a sense of fun. The best way to discover the individual stations at L’Usine is to explore them for yourself. You set your own pace, so you can spend as long as you like at each station.
The course is especially fun with friends or family. You can cheer each other on and laugh at the occasional surprise.
