Les Lilas, Administrative commune in Seine-Saint-Denis, France.

Les Lilas stretches across one square kilometer of land in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, maintaining a population density of 19,000 residents per kilometer.

The territory of Les Lilas emerged from parts of Romainville, Pantin, and Bagnolet on July 24, 1867, marking the beginning of its municipal independence.

The municipal coat of arms displays green fretwork on gold with lilac flowers, representing the transformation from rural gardens to an urban center.

The Mairie des Lilas metro station on Line 11 connects residents to central Paris, while the municipal administration operates from 96 Rue de Paris.

Serge Gainsbourg immortalized the local metro station in his 1958 song 'Le Poinçonneur des Lilas' about a ticket puncher at Porte des Lilas.
