(*) - Le Manach was founded in the city of Tours in 1829 and is still active. It's the heir of long tradition of silk industry, which started in 1470, when king Louis XI decided to establish a French production of silk to avoid imports from Italy. Tours was the other French silk city, even if now Lyon is more famous.
