Named after Saint Stephen, the city first appears in the historical record in the Middle Ages as Saint-Étienne de Furan (after the River Furan, a tributary of the Loire). In the 13th century, it was a small borough around the church dedicated to Saint Etienne. On the upper reaches of the Furan, near the Way of St. James, the Abbey of Valbenoîte had been founded by the cistercians in 1222. In the late 15th century, it was a fortified village defended by walls built around the original nucleus.

British indie-dance band Saint Etienne named themselves after the club.

The bicycle wheel manufacturer Mavic is based in the city and frame manufacturers Motobécane and Vitus are also based here. The city often hosts a stage of the Tour de France. St. Étienne resident Thierry Gueorgiou is a world champion in orienteering. The local rugby union team is CA Saint-Étienne Loire Sud Rugby.

The SNCF class BB 15000 is a class of 25 kV 50 Hz electric locomotives built by Alsthom and MTE between 1971 and 1978. Initially 65 locomotives strong, the series was widely used on the whole French 25 kV network before losing services to TGV trains when the LGV Est went into service in 2007.
In the mid-1960s, SNCF sought a new type of dual-current electric locomotives. As thyristor technology advanced rapidly, SNCF decided to adopt the new technology for a new series of locomotives, later known as the Nez Cassés (Broken Noses, due to their cab styling by Paul Arzens) or BB 4400kW. Given that the need for pure AC-locomotives was greatest, SNCF placed an initial order of five locomotives in 1968. In 1969 a second order of 10 locomotives followed, in 1970 a third order was made for another 10 locomotives. The remaining 40 locomotives were ordered in 1973.

An historic Maison de Maitre in the heart of a pretty village, oozing elegance and style.
This grand property – originally built as a Consulate for Napoleon in 1792 – has an immaculate garden and pool, and even a second house.
There is plenty of scope for further development, and this charming family home would make a superb boutique hotel or wedding venue.
The principle house has an impressive entrance hall with timber paneling and a tiled floor. This leads directly to the rear garden, and side doors open to the reception rooms. The high ceilings have substantial figured oak beams and give the house a spacious and airy feel.
The kitchen was designed by celebrated French film-set designer Jean-Michel Simonet and features polished granite worktops and a Godin range oven.
The lounge/dining room has windows to the front and rear and has a stone fireplace with an original 18th century iron fire-back.
A billiards room with an enameled wood-burner can be used as bedroom six.
A stone staircase leads to five bright and airy bedrooms, again with high ceilings and large windows. Most rooms have striking wall-paper dating from the 50s/60s.
A timber staircase leads to a vast attic area, which has been recently renovated, insulated and boarded and could provide space for substantial accommodation.
A second house, with a separate entrance, needs refurbishment – but has two bedrooms and a wonderful timber staircase marked with the carpenter’s name in 1788.
The pretty garden – around 800m2 – is set to lawn with shrubs, a vegetable patch and swimming pool (4.5 x 8.4m).
Outbuildings include a former Coach porch and large garage – sufficient for at least 8 cars.
There is also a former wine-making ‘Chai’, and an elevated area overlooking the pool with a terrace – great as a studio or apartment. Underneath the house there is a wine cellar.
This expansive property has been at the heart of village life for over 200 years and has been expanded and improved by its former owners.
