CYCLES MERCIER, FRANCE LOIRE
Rue de Gutenberg, not far from the centre of St Etienne until the company went into liquidation in the mid-80s. “Cycles Mercier France-Loires” continued carrying the brand “Mercier” after bankruptcy in the mid-80’s.
Currently it forms part of the Accell Group and produces bicycles in a place called “Andrezieux Boutheon” very much near St Etienne.
The Mercier brand has also reappeared on mail-order Chinese-made bikes in the USA, apparently as a result of a licensing arrangement.
