Abattoir means slaughter house
It was the former slaughter house of Paris, before they moved it outside Paris.
The official name was Pavillon de Paris, if I make no mistake.
Now the area has changed quite a lot and on the same site you have la Grande Halle de la Vilette (used for exhibitions and jazz concerts) and a 6,000 capacity concert venue called Le Zenith.
Also almost on the same place : la Cité de la Musique (translate it as the music museum) where a Stones weekend took place a few years ago. Bill Wyman came for a 2 hour discussion with the fans. Atlantic City, L&G, Let's spend the night together and Performance were shown.
