Saint-Dié

▪ France
in full  Saint-Dié-des-Vosges 

      town, Vosges département, Lorraine région, northeastern France. It lies on the Meurthe River, southeast of Nancy. A bishop's see, it grew up around the monastery of Saint-Deodatus, or Dieudonné (7th century), from which its name is derived. It has a printing industry dating from the 16th century and was the place where German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller printed his geographic pamphlet Cosmographiae introductio (1507), in which the name America appeared in print for the first time. Its 12th-century Romanesque Notre-Dame church survived the heavy destruction of World War II, but its medieval cathedral was destroyed. Saint-Dié was the birthplace (1832) of the French statesman Jules Ferry.

      Saint-Dié's traditional industries were centred on textiles and food products. Plastics, automotive parts, and computer software are now produced in the town, and there is a technological university there. Saint-Dié is a major tourist destination within the département. Pop. (1999) 22,569; (2005 est.) 21,800.
