Villejuif, Administrative commune in Val-de-Marne, France
Villejuif is an administrative unit within the Val-de-Marne department in the eastern suburbs of Paris. The area sits on a slightly elevated plateau and spreads across several residential neighborhoods with parks and public facilities.
The commune emerged during the reorganization of Parisian suburbs in the nineteen sixties. The restructuring aimed to better manage the rapid growth of the surrounding urban areas.
Residents view their town hall as a hub for administrative matters and use the public squares for markets and gatherings. The surrounding streets preserve a mix of older residential buildings and newer developments that shape everyday life in the commune.
Several metro lines and bus connections run from the center of the commune to Paris and neighboring suburbs. Visitors find shops, cafés, and access to public green spaces for short breaks along the main streets.
A psychiatric hospital in the commune hosts an annual cultural festival that combines art projects and performances to raise awareness about mental health. The initiative opens the facility grounds to the public and encourages dialogue between professionals and visitors.
