Ville-d'Avray

Ville-d'Avray is a residential commune west of Paris in the Hauts-de-Seine region. The village sits peacefully with houses, green spaces, and several ponds that shape its natural landscape.

The landscape painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot made this place his home during the 19th century and created many works of the local ponds. This artistic presence shaped the village and keeps it rooted in the history of landscape painting.

The Church of Saint-Nicolas-et-Saint-Marc shapes the village with its traditional design and protected heritage status. It reflects how religious buildings anchor the local identity and character of this place.

The Sèvres-Ville d'Avray station links this place to Paris through the Transilien commuter rail line. Regular trains throughout the day make reaching and exploring the village straightforward.

The ponds that inspired Corot still show the same views the painter captured in the 19th century. These unchanged waters let visitors experience the landscape through the eyes of a great artist.
