Les abattoirs de La Villette is a series of photographs by Eli Lotar.

Eli Lotar's reportage on the Parisian La Villette's slaughterhouses (1929, issue 6 of Documents (journal)) was a theme very much in line with Georges Bataille's interests in sacrificial rituals and became one of his best-known works.
