were recorded in the name of Gobelin and Canaye. In the Charenton church registers, baptisms and so on. Another was sent to prison in Paris and died in 1572, at the time of the Saint-Bartélemy massacre. In 1568, a member of the Canaye family, who had come to buy yellow and Lauragais pastel dyes, was hung in Toulouse.
We do not know when the descendents of Jean Gobelin, who were related by marriage to the Canaye family, joined the Reformed Church. At first they were dyers, but later they also wove cloth and made tapestries.įrom 1559 onwards, the names Gobelin and Canaye can be found on the registers of the church in Charenton. They owned all the plots of land from the Rue Mouffetard (now the Avenue des Gobelins) up to the Bièvre (now the Avenue Berbier-du-Mets). Intermarriage between the two families strengthened business ties. The Gobelin family founded several successful firms, together with their neighbours the Canaye family, who came from Milan. Jean Gobelin, a craftsman specialising in the dyeing of scarlet cloth, settled in Paris in 1443 in the area of Saint-Marcel, near the Bièvre river.
