Suresnes, Suburban commune in Hauts-de-Seine, France
Suresnes is a town in the Hauts-de-Seine department that spreads between wooded slopes and the bank of the Seine, about ten kilometers west of the French capital. Streets rise gently from the wide river curve up toward the wooded hill of Mont-Valérien, which towers over the whole area.
The fortress on Mont-Valérien was built in the 19th century and later served as an execution site for resistance fighters during the Second World War. Today the Memorial of Fighting France recalls those years and draws visitors who want to learn more about that time.
The Museum of Urban and Social History in Suresnes presents exhibits about local development through artifacts, documents, and photographs from different periods.
Regional trains on the Transilien line stop at Suresnes-Mont-Valérien station and connect the town directly with central Paris. Tram Line 2 also runs through the town and offers another way to move around the area.
The American cemetery sits on a slope above the Seine and is the resting place for more than 1500 American soldiers who fell during the First World War. A chapel with stained glass windows depicting scenes from that war also stands on the grounds.
