Sochaux is a small city in the East of France, mainly known for the Peugeot production centre (the largest one of the group), and its football club. What generally astonishes the visitor is the modest size of the city (only 5000 inhabitants), compared to the notoriety it has all around France. It is a really plesant city in which to enjoy yourself.
PSA plants in Sochaux (Peugeot 307) and Mulhouse (Peugeot 206 and 307) are the two most important production sites in the group. The PSA site in Vesoul is the strategic site in terms of logistics. These three sites, classified under the French regulation on industrial pollution prevention and control, are ISO 14001 certified.
