The city was particularly active in the 13th
century with its tanneries, its clouteries and
its factories of sheets. Products were transported
to America. Strong of 5 000 inhabitants, Saint-Geniez
was the second city of Rouergue.

expansion of Saint-Geniez. Its decline became
more marked with the competition and the modernization
of the other draperies. |
