Javel, Administrative quarter in 15th arrondissement, France

The Javel district extends over 2.608 square kilometers near the Seine River, featuring modern residential buildings and commercial establishments.

In 1777, the area became the birthplace of sodium hypochlorite bleach production, leading to the term 'eau de Javel' used worldwide.

The neighborhood houses multiple television studios, the European Georges-Pompidou Hospital, and the expansive André-Citroën Park along the riverbank.

The district connects to central Paris through RER C train station and metro lines 8, 10, and 12, with additional tramway access.

From 1915 to 1975, the Citroën factory in Javel produced the first mass-manufactured European car, transforming the district into an industrial center.
