Parly 2, regional shopping mall and residential area
Parly 2 is a large shopping complex in Le Chesnay-Rocquencourt with three levels of covered galleries housing numerous stores and dining venues. The entire development combines retail spaces with residential buildings, creating an integrated urban ensemble.
The center opened in 1969 as an early large-scale shopping destination in France, establishing new standards for the retail experience. It emerged during a period when France was modernizing its shopping landscape and exploring new urban models.
The name Parly combines Paris and Forêt de Marly, chosen after local residents rejected the initial Paris 2 proposal. This name has become part of the local identity and is used by visitors and residents to describe the whole area.
The center offers free parking and direct access from the A13 motorway, making it convenient to reach by car. The covered galleries allow you to shop comfortably regardless of weather conditions.
The complex integrates residential buildings alongside shopping spaces, creating a complete living neighborhood rather than just a shopping destination. This blend of commerce and housing shapes daily life here and sets it apart from typical shopping centers.
