1800's:

Arnage is found in the Sarthe region. I could only find this one piece of information on the region not the city itself. There just isn't anything out there - lots on politics and the French Revolution but not on land use and economy for the area you want.  

Up until the mid 1800's, more than 100,000 hectares of hemp was grown throughout France to produce linen, fabric, twine, rope, cordage, and natural oil (seed). At present, approximately 6,000 hectares of hemp are grown each year most in La Sarthe and La Loire
