Created in 1897 by Oscar Lesage to diversify his business. Bombed in 1944 and rebuilt in 1951, the tile factory closed in 1976, but the family business continues with Rector floors. Oscar Lesage (entrepreneur and philanthropist, street named after him) had started in 1885 to run a horse-drawn transport company which, among other things, emptied septic tanks. This company was at the origin of Transports Lesage and also Voyages Lesage (1946), which stopped its activity in 2012.
