The Factory

The Factory is a factory located in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, near Kadic. It used to be an old car factory, and was used by Franz Hopper as a base of operations in his experiments with Lyoko and Carthage. The Factory is considered to be the Lyoko Warriors's headquarters.

The Factory is located in the middle of the River Seine, on an artificial island. A bridge connects it to the mainland. A manhole on the bridge leads to the Sewers below; typically, members of Team Lyoko come up through this after traveling through the sewers from Kadic. The Factory can also be reached by boat; as shown when the Lyoko Warriors used a dinghy in Plagued when X.A.N.A. blocked the bridge

The building itself is occasionally used in X.A.N.A.'s schemes; he most often uses the Factory Floor to make things, or attack our heroes. For example, X.A.N.A. uses the machinery there to make a robot in the episode The Robots.

It was modeled after an old Renault factory, located in Boulogne-Billancourt, where Code Lyoko is set. The factory has been demolished. It was located at 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France.

Factory floor plan
At ground level is the Factory Floor, which contains the entrance to the Factory Lift. Also, on this floor are the machine rooms of the factory.

Above the ground floor is the upper level of the factory. This consists of a walkway bordering the inside of the building. The upper level is where the bridge meets the factory, and hence where the characters normally enter; to get down to the ground floor, they swing down on ropes.

Franz Hopper's machinery is located below the main level, and is normally accessed by the lift, although an alternate route, which goes through the Boiler Room, exists.

The Lab is the first room below the surface, and is where Jeremie monitors Team Lyoko's progress in Lyoko.

Directly below the Lab is the Scanner Room, which can also be accessed by a hatch from the Lab.

The bottom room is the Supercomputer Room, which contains the supercomputer. It is accessible using a hatch from the Scanner Room.
