Résumé anglais The cycle industry of St-Etienne, which was organised on the basis of Marshallian districts, has long resisted crises through its ability to react quickly to changing economic circumstances. However, this activity, which has been affected by a rigid system of planning and has been relatively insensitive to changes in the scale of the market, has been hit head-on since 1981 by competition from Asian countries and multinational cycle manufacturers. This has resulted in cutbacks and closures, and the progressive disappearance of the industrial district itself.
