VOIRON

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 177 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOIRON , a town of France in the department of the Isere. Pop. (1901) 12,625. It stands at a height of 950 ft., on the Morge (a tributary of the Isere). It is a manufacturing town, and contains numerous factories which produce a sort of
cloth
  named after the town, and also
silk
 -weaving factories (2000 looms, with an annual output of eight to nine million yards). There are also
paper
 -making factories in the town. The fine
church
  of St Bruno was built 1864-73 at the expense of the monks of the Grande
Chartreuse
 . Voiron is the starting-point of the steam tramways to St Laurent du Pont, 12 M. (for the Grande
Chartreuse
 ), and to Charavines, 10 m. (for the Lac de Paladru). Voiron
long
  formed
part
  of Savoy, but in 1355 was exchanged (with the rest of the region between the Rhone and the Isere, watered by the Guiers Mort) by the
count
  with France for Faucigny and Gex.
