Saint-Juéry, a reimagined industrial site
Saint-Juéry, FRANCE, 30th September 2026 – Last week, Dedienne Aerospace hosted a stop of the Tour de France des Projets Inspirants pour la France at its Saint-Juéry site, alongside the Albi Metropolitan Area.
On this centenary industrial site, the story could have come to an end. Instead, it has entered a new chapter. Today, with its 14,000 m², Saint-Juéry has become the largest site in the group, dedicated to the aerospace industry.
This site reflects the ability of a territory and a company to build a lasting dynamic together, based on industrial continuity, local roots and the promotion of expertise.
Before production even resumed, Dedienne Aerospace chose to open the site to an artistic initiative. In 2024, the “Métamorphoses” exhibition brought together around twenty local and international artists and a hundred works created on site. The project gave local residents the opportunity to rediscover the former factory from a new perspective.
Some of these works are still visible today in the site’s workshops. Their presence contributes to the identity of the site and supports its attractiveness, while also helping strengthen its appeal to talent.
Welcoming the Tour de France des Projets Inspirants pour la France to Saint-Juéry highlights the significance of this collective project. It illustrates what close cooperation between a company and its territory can achieve when built over time: an active, open and future-oriented industrial site.
