The municipality includes several surrounding hamlets including Nessonvaux which is where, between 1904 and 1958, the Impéria company produced automobiles. The factory building survives. This building is one of three examples of test tracks on its roof. The other known roof test tracks are on the roof of the old Fiat factory in Turin, Italy, and Palacio Chrysler in Buenos Aires, which opened in 1928.
