Franconville, Administrative commune in Val-d'Oise, France

Located 17 kilometers northwest of Paris, Franconville extends across 16 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 59 meters above sea level.

The first written record of Franconville dates to 1137, with its name deriving from 'Francorum Villa', meaning domain of the Franks.

The town maintains connections with Viernheim in Germany and Potters Bar in England through active town twinning programs established in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Franconville-Le Plessis-Bouchard station connects residents to Paris through RER line C and Transilien Paris-Nord suburban rail services.

The population grew from 1,082 residents in 1793 to over 37,520 in 2021, transforming from a rural settlement into the fifth largest town in Val-d'Oise.
