Villeneuve-la-Garenne, Administrative commune in Hauts-de-Seine, France
Villeneuve-la-Garenne is a commune located along the Seine River in the northern suburbs of Paris. The town blends residential neighborhoods with green spaces and has a quieter, suburban character that contrasts with central Paris.
The area separated from Gennevilliers in 1927 to become an independent commune, marking a turning point in local administration. This division shaped the way the territory developed and organized itself as a distinct community.
The Bibliothèque Aimé-Césaire serves as the central library, providing educational resources and programs for the 24,097 residents of the community.
The commune is well connected by public transportation and offers various schools and facilities for residents and visitors. Green areas and riverside walks along the Seine provide pleasant places for strolls and outdoor activities.
The area has a strong industrial heritage linked to shipyards that once operated along the Seine, such as the Chantiers Navals du Nord. These facilities played a key role in shaping the local economy and continue to influence the character of the place today.
