Chevilly-Larue, Suburban commune in Val-de-Marne, France.
Chevilly-Larue is a suburban commune in the Val-de-Marne department located in the eastern suburbs of Paris. The area features residential neighborhoods, schools, and local shops mixed throughout varied terrain and green spaces.
First recorded in 829 as Civiliacum, the place was renamed in 1921 to separate it from another commune with the same name. This change marked the beginning of the modern suburban development that followed.
Local schools bring families together, with children moving through the residential streets and parents meeting at community spaces. These places help define how people here know and interact with each other.
The commune connects to Paris via bus services and has local amenities like schools and shops throughout the neighborhoods. Two new Metro Line 14 stations are planned to open by 2027, which will improve access significantly.
A military battle occurred here in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War, making this place part of that conflict's history. Few visitors today know about this past event that shaped the region's story.
