Viroflay

Viroflay is a residential commune in Yvelines on the western edge of Paris, sitting at about 115 meters elevation. The area contains family neighborhoods, schools, childcare centers, and local services connected to central Paris by public transport.

The area began as a medieval village and gradually became a residential suburb as Paris expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries. This shift from rural settlement to modern neighborhood shaped what exists today.

The community maintains long-standing partnerships with towns in Mali and Germany, creating a spirit of international connection among residents. These relationships have shaped local values and brought people together around shared projects.

The location is easily reached by train or bus from central Paris for work and visits. The neighborhood has schools and child services spread throughout, making daily life convenient for families.

The municipality invested directly in building schools and medical centers in partner towns abroad, making a real difference in other communities. This hands-on approach to international aid shows how smaller towns can have global impact.
