CREST

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 414 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CREST , a town of
south
 -eastern France, in the department of Drdme, on the right bank of the
Drome
 , 20 M. S.S.E. of Valence by rail. Pop. (1906) town, 3971; commune, 566o. It carries on
silk
 -worm breeding,
silk
 -spinning, and the manufacture of woollens,
paper
 ,
leather
  and cement. There is
trade
  in truffles. On the
rock
  which commands the town stands a huge keep, the sole survival of a castle (12th
century
 ) to which Crest was indebted for its importance in the middle ages and the Religious Wars. The rest of the castle was destroyed in the first half of the 17th
century
 , after which the keep was used as a state prison. Crest ranked for a time as the
capital
  of the duchy of Valentinois, and in that capacity belonged before the Revolution to the prince of Monaco. The communal charter, graven on stone and dating from the 12th century, is preserved in the public archives. Ten miles
south
 -
east
  of Crest lies the picturesque Forest of Saon.
