The workforce in the factories on the Jabron did not only come from the region. After the genocide in Armenia, female refugees came to the region as workers. Many Italian women also settled here. They came mainly from northern Italy and were looking for work on the other side of the Alps. In La-Bégude-de-Mazenc they lived in their own district near the factories, which was named after them. But a comprehensive community life was usually not possible - so they often remained strangers in a foreign country.

This place is on the way and is listed here, but has no connection to fabric/silk.

Today, a few houses still have a large room with two fireplaces - a "magnanerie". In these efficiently heated rooms, the silkworms hatched, were raised and fed with mulberry leaves. They were kept in boxes, which made rearing particularly efficient. When the caterpillars had pupated and produced the sought-after thread, they were killed in boiling water and removed from their cocoons. The residents of the houses then unwound the long threads and delivered them to the spinning mills. However, intensive breeding endangered the health of the caterpillars: they became more susceptible to disease. This led to the decline of the entire industry in the region around 1860.
