The Manufacture d'armes de Châtellerault, nicknamed the Manu, is a French arms company located in Châtellerault, created in 1819 and disappeared in 1968, whose site has been transformed into a cultural district. Established by royal decree on July 14, 1819, a true industrial lung of Châtellerault in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Manufacture d'armes has, for 150 years, marked the city and its population. From 34 workers in 1819, it has nearly 8,000 a century later, nicknamed the "Manuchards" during the First World War. The origin of the factory dates back to the closure of those located in the north and north-east of France. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the invasion of part of France at that time, these establishments were indeed considered too close to the borders, in sensitive and strategic locations. The factories of Maubeuge and Charleville for firearms, and of Klingenthal for bladed weapons were thus closed in 1836, the last located near the borders being that of Mutzig, closed in 1870. The site of Châtellerault, in the center-west of the country, is therefore not the result of chance. The factory was established on the banks of the Vienne to capture the driving energy of the river. It closed its doors in 1968.
