===Dieppe plant===
The first assembly plant for Alpine was at a small workshop owned by Rédélé on the Pasteur avenue in [[Dieppe]].<ref name=CAR/> In 1969, to cope with increasing demand, the assembly was moved to a larger facility on de Bréauté avenue, its present location.<ref name=R /><ref name=CAR>{{cite web |url=https://actu.fr/normandie/dieppe_76217/a-dieppe-lusine-alpine-fete-50-ans_25726076.html |title=A Dieppe, l'usine Alpine fête ses 50 ans |trans-title=At Dieppe, the Alpine plant celebrates its 50th anniversary |work=actu.fr |language=French |last=Benard |first=Aurélien |date=8 July 2019 |access-date=10 April 2021}}</ref>

The Dieppe plant has 3.8 hectares of covered buildings. {{As of|2019}}, it had 386 employees.<ref name=DIEPLANT>{{cite web |url=https://group.renault.com/en/our-company/locations/dieppe-plant-2/ |title=Dieppe plant (Alpine) |publisher=Renault |access-date=20 April 2021}}</ref>

The plant is semi-automatised, with high worker input (before the launch of the 2017 A110, vehicles were almost completely hand-built) and focused on low-volume, high quality assembly. It can produce an average of 15 A110s per day. The plant press neither steel nor aluminium (the A110s are mostly built on prefabricated alloy panels). The plant has not a welding section, as the A110 chassis and bodywork are riveted and glued on a special assembly line and moved to a low-temperature coating plant (able to paint both the alloy and plastic elements) and then to a sanding robot (to remove imperfections) and wiping robot (to clean the vehicle). Final assembly is made on a single line, with logistics teams preparing beforehand the vehicle's components to travel along the line with it. Cockpits are assembled and put on by the side and pre-assembled powertrains are put on the rear.<ref name=Just>{{cite web |url=https://www.just-auto.com/analysis/plant-focus-alpines-dieppe-sportscar-factory_id183498.aspx |title=Plant focus: Alpine's Dieppe sportscar factory |last=Roberts |first=Graeme |work=Just-auto.com |date=11 July 2018 |access-date=20 April 2021 |archive-date=20 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420020235/https://www.just-auto.com/analysis/plant-focus-alpines-dieppe-sportscar-factory_id183498.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref> Apart from low-volume cars, the Dieppe plant also assembles racing cars<ref name=DIEPLANT/> (as the Clio Rally4, a rallying car based on the fifth-generation [[Renault Clio]]), co-develops racing cars,<ref name=RSR>{{cite press release |url=https://www.renaultsport.com/225-new-clios-already-delivered.html |title=225 New Clios already delivered! |publisher=Renault Sport |access-date=22 April 2021}}</ref> produces and sells parts for racing cars,  and tunes engines.<ref name=DIEPLANT/>

From the late 1970s, Alpine's Dieppe plant produced Renault Sport models and, after the discontinuation of the Alpine brand in 1995, it became its main focus.<ref name=DIEPLANT/><ref name=Just/> Renault Sport models produced over time by Alpine include: Renault 5 Turbo, [[Renault Sport Spider]], [[Clio Renault Sport]], [[Mégane Renault Sport]].<ref name=DIEPLANT/><ref name=Just/> The last Renault Sport model produced by Dieppe aimed at the mainstream market was the fourth-generation Clio Renault Sport, which was put out of production at the site in 2018. Between 2015 and 2016, the plant also assembled the [[Bolloré Bluecar]].<ref name=DIEPLANT/>
