A little history:
Early in the 20th century, most of the grain-producing regions of France were covered with grain silos and as a result, many of them were connected to the rail network.
Concrete and metal construction techniques were perfected at the same time as the size of these buildings increased.
Two main types of architecture existed: with silos entirely hidden by walls (small to medium-sized facilities) and with exposed silos (large facilities).
Nowadays, only the large facilities are still connected to the railway.
