| Since the Sixties, Saint-Etienne has successfully met the challenge of converting to advanced technology. It has played on its expertise and now exports quality labels in the area of high technology, ranging from acoustics down to the spring sold to NASA, the food industry, and the big-medical, water and mechanical sectors.
Whether economic,technological or sociological, the city went through profound changes. Saint-Etienne has become ecologically-oriented and protects its lifestyle, while its art and culture follow the rhythm of the days and the hours. |
The unique collections of its museums (the Museum of Modern Art was the leading European museum devoted to the contemporary art of the Sixties and Seventies, and the Museum of Art and Industry which will house one of the richest arms collections in the world in 1997), as well as its theatre shows are appreciated by both experts and novices.Key figures Population City : 200,000 inhabitants Agglomeration : 450,000 inhabitants. Capital of football since the epic of the "Greens" in the seventies, Saint-Etienne will once again renew its close ties with the round ball in 1998! |
