Vaucresson, Residential commune in Hauts-de-Seine, France
Vaucresson is a residential commune in Hauts-de-Seine, situated to the west of Paris. It spreads across rolling terrain with neighborhoods, parks, and green spaces interspersed with houses and local streets.
The place gained prominence in 1783 when a hot air balloon from Versailles landed here, marking an early moment in aviation history. This connection to the pioneering experiments of balloon flight distinguishes it in local memory.
The Cinema Normandie and La Montgolfiere cultural center form the main entertainment venues, offering regular film screenings and community activities.
The place connects to Paris via the Transilien Line L rail network. Visitors find a quiet residential area with local services and shops along main streets.
