Garches

Garches is a residential commune in the Hauts-de-Seine located northwest of Paris. The town comprises residential neighborhoods with a mix of housing types that serve as home to a population of roughly 8000 people.

Garches began as a small rural village and grew into a suburban area during the 20th century as the Paris region expanded. This transformation reflects how nearby settlements changed as the metropolitan area spread outward.

The Saturday morning market at Place Saint Louis represents a central meeting point where residents gather to purchase local products.

Visitors can access the town hall on Avenue du Maréchal Leclerc where municipal offices are located. The commune is easily reachable from Paris by public transport, with several metro and bus lines serving the area.

Garches maintains strong educational facilities with ten institutions, including eight primary schools and one secondary school under Versailles Academy supervision.
