A family passion that spans over two decades
In 2000, Pierre Le Cacheux, painter and sculptor, fell under the spell of an old industrial mirror factory. Nestled in a passage a few steps from Bastille, it had also housed a metallurgical company as well as the Chaiserie du Faubourg. Inspired by this building, Pierre, alongside his wife Laure, decided to set up his own workshop there and create an Academy of Plastic Arts. With respect for the authenticity of the place - conservation of ancient patinas and metal structures - the couple breathes new creative life into this atmosphere of yesteryear.
Subsequently, their son Louis, an entrepreneur in events and passionate about the world of fashion, shared this enthusiasm for buildings. While remaining faithful to the essence of the place, he became the instigator of the reinvention of these unique spaces, thus marking the birth of Artefact Paris. A new era is beginning with the privatization of locations for shootings, filming, showrooms and various events.
Artefact Paris embodies the fusion of past and present, where artistic passion intertwines with a modern vision to create unique experiences and exceptional events.

The Passage L'Homme and the Faubourg St-Antoine
In the heart of the 11th arrondissement of Paris, the Passage Lhomme and the Faubourg St-Antoine have long been the stronghold of crafts since the 15th century. Even twenty years ago, this place welcomed many artisans, including upholsterers and stamp varnishers, creating a warm atmosphere, recalling that of a small village.
Even today, this place offers a tranquility where time seems to have stopped. The old signs, historic pavers, and the imposing brick chimney plunge us into a bygone era, evoking memories of the past.
This transition to a bucolic atmosphere was also the setting for various shootings, including the memorable video for Joe Cocker with Catherine Deneuve.
