History
For a long time, the commune of the Champagne-on-Seine is an occupied rural village without history, essentially, by market-gardeners and vine growers, following the example common neighbor of Thomery. However, a fundamental change intervenes at the beginning of the XXe century.
In 1902, the company Schneider decides to establish, not far from Paris, of the workshops of mechanical engineering to feed the construction of the Subway. The Champagne site is chosen, between a loop of the the Seine and the line of the PLM. The junction between the Loing (prolongation of the channel of the Center) and the Seine, not far from there Saint-Mammès, in addition allows a direct connection with Creusot, seat of origin of the company. The social context and policy played in favor of this establishment bus of the very hard strikes proceeded at the end of the years 1890 in Creusot and gave place to dismissals and a reorganization of the factories. It is decided to move away the electricians, principal initiating of these strikes, but essential skilled labor for the future economic development of the firm.
256 families are thus moved either 649 Creusotins listed in 1906. Population of the common master key thus of 600 inhabitants in 1903 to 2.000 inhabitants in 1911, then 3.200 inhabitants in 1926. The employees, within the factory, pass from 560 in 1903 to 1.500 in 1926. With these creusotins are added workmen from Russia, after the First World War and the Russian Revolution. Besides it make build an orthodoxe vault between 1937 and 1939.
Such an installation makes essential the creation of true a Cité working between the old village and the factory, with the equipment necessary. 58 hectares of grounds are bought on this occasion. An anonymous real estate company is created in October 1902 to manage the working residences. This one uses the services of the architect Edmond Delaire (1856-1921) to carry out a series of multifamily apartments.
16 buildings of 3 floors are built between 1902 and 1903, sheltering 269 residences. Each building includes/understands apartments from 2 to 4 parts, with room of domestic water privative and, the whole connected to sewerage and a water treatment system. With these multifamily apartments houses intended are added to place the foremen of the factory, located near the Seine. These residences appearing insufficient, others - individual, of bands - are built, in the district of the Larks, street of the Not-Round (current street of the Release), then 96 in the district of the Hawthorn, in the south of the factory, between 1920 and 1921. In the years 1930, the factory has 518 residences thus.
Trade are created simultaneously within the buildings, that is to say 44 shops (against the 4 present ones before the installation of the factory). A co-operative of factory in addition makes it possible to the workmen at little cost to be supplied. Three schools are built in 1904 as well as a professional special course in 1905, to train the future factory workers. Very quickly, a stage is arranged like 260 working gardens, properties of the factory and rented exclusively with the workers of Schneider.
After a decline during the years 1930 and one contribution to the industry of German war under the occupation, the factory knows a renewal of activity after the Second world war. But the péréclite production and the factory close with the beginning of the year 1990.
