The square Matisse in Aulnoye-Aymeries

You can see here another side of the square Matisse of Aulnoye-Aymeries. On this side you can see the eldest houses of the square. They were built I think in the fifties or sixties, perharps earlier, for the workers of the factory Vallourec of Aulnoye ( a mettalurgy factory). Nowadays the houses became some different colours or front decoration, but at the beginning they were all like the red ones. Here this sort of street (the most time several streets) where all the houses are the same is called a cité or a coron.
