Crêt de Roc is the hill closest to the centre of Saint-Étienne, perched north of the town hall. The district runs along steep lanes, between the centre and the Châteaucreux station, which it overlooks from the other side of the hill. Its position, between the two hubs of Saint-Étienne, and its viewpoints over the city make it distinctive.
It is a former working-class, industrial district. In the nineteenth century, ribbon weavers settled here with their looms, hence the tall, light-filled houses designed for ribbon work. Long marked by vacancy, Crêt de Roc is the subject of a large-scale urban renewal programme: refurbished period buildings, shopkeepers and community groups moving in, and an eco-district have set fresh momentum in motion.
Still affordable, Crêt de Roc sits in the lower-middle part of the Saint-Étienne market, but carries part of the refurbishment momentum of the city. Supply is made up of houses and period apartments, some of them renovated, in an area under transformation sought after by a young population attentive to the living environment.
