The neighborhood and an interesting history. The Gobelin Tapestry Manufacturing plant was constructed over 600 years ago. When the famous cloth dyer, Jean Gobelin first moved here, it was nothing more than a small, rural valley on the banks of the Bièvre. The industry developed quickly and the Royal Furniture and Upholstery Factory was created in 1667. The name Gobelin became famous throughout Europe in the 18th century. The building is now managed by the French government.
