  ABSTRACT: This article is a summary of the historical background to Isatis tinctoria in France and elsewhere from the 12th to the 21st century. Isatis tinctoria, also called “Guède”, “Pastel” or “Vouède” according to the French region origin, is a plant originally used to obtain indigo blue dye mainly to produce colored blue fabrics. A local memory is well established in the Amiens region (northern France) and the Toulouse region (south-western France). No global review of its culture and trade over the long term is known. The aim of this article is to summarize the historical background of Isatis tinctoria in France and elsewhere from the twelfth to the twenty-first century.
