Hi if of interest, here is a incomplete list of some French bicycle and part factories.
Some I have gone to and checked out and most are still standing with other activities going on. Lyotard has been leveled I believe and Belleri has not too long ago closed down. Bocama was still trading a few years back. Anyway, the addresses will give you a quick street view walk around.

Thanks for sharing. A real pity. Take a look at my "virtual factory tour/drive by" link to see the original location of Gitane in Machecoul.
