Résumé anglais Innovations Brought by Foreigners in Rural Districts around Nantes at the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century In the rural districts around Nantes which started changing from 1820-1830, firms run by people who were not natives of the region gave an impetus to technical progress and to the transformation of social life. Two different experiences are analysed : that of a community made up of British monks and former French émigrés, and that initiated by a shipowner of Dutch origin from Nantes and developed by an Alsatian, Jules Rieffel. The former, on an autarkical basis, met with a quick but brief success. The latter, closely connected with the social background, was to mark all the agricultural development of the west of France in the nineteenth century.
