Fresnes, Administrative commune in Val-de-Marne, France.
Fresnes is a commune in Val-de-Marne located in the southern suburbs of Paris, spanning about 14 square kilometers. The area is home to around 8,000 residents per square kilometer and forms part of the greater Paris metropolitan area.
The name comes from a papal document from 1152 mentioning Fraxinum, referring to the ash trees that once shaped the landscape. This reveals how the natural vegetation played a role in the early identity of the place.
The Louise Michel cultural center offers film screenings, theater performances, and musical events that draw residents and visitors throughout the year. These activities shape the local community life and create gathering places for people of different ages.
The municipal administration is located on Pierre and Marie Curie Street, across from the local church, making it easy to find for official matters. This central placement makes it straightforward for visitors to get information about the commune.
The Bièvre River flows through the area, with a 200-meter section restored to open air in 2003 within Prés de la Bièvre park. This restoration created an unexpected green space amid the densely built suburb.
