Sochaux, Industrial commune in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France

The commune of Sochaux extends across the Doubs department at 317 meters elevation, connecting with neighboring towns Vieux-Charmont and Montbéliard.

The Peugeot factory in Sochaux underwent transformation during World War II, leading to RAF bombing operations in July 1943 that caused substantial damage.

The Peugeot Museum in Sochaux presents an extensive collection of vehicles, documenting the evolution of French automotive manufacturing through multiple generations.

Sochaux maintains four public schools, seven medical practitioners, and operates a weekly market every Thursday for local residents and visitors.

The Peugeot industrial facility in Sochaux employed 16,000 workers in 2005, making it one of the largest automotive manufacturing centers in France.
