The origins of the factory outlets in Troyes

The city of Troyes is known to be home to the largest concentration of factory outlets in Europe. The reasons for this are quite simply historical: already in the Middle Ages, the city was ideally placed to host the famous Champagne fairs, whose fame spread throughout medieval Europe. The textile, dyeing and tanning industries then developed there, until Troyes became the national hosiery capital in the 18th century. The Troyes region, with its unrivalled dynamism in the textile industry, saw the birth of prestigious French brands, including Petit Bateau, Lacoste and Absorba. The concept of a trade and factory outlet was born in the 20th century, in the 1960s: initially reserved for factory staff and their families, they were opened to the general public in the 1970s. Forerunner in this field, Troyes is today the undeniable capital of the factory outlet, and attracts by this form of tourism more than 3 million visitors every year.
