Quartier Billancourt Rives de Seine - Boulogne Billancourt

History

The banks of the Seine were long subject to flooding. They were therefore not permanently inhabited until the end of the 18th century. The development of the district began with the Renault automobile factory, established on Île Seguin in 1898.This is also where the Trapeze district is located, which takes its name from its shape. In 2013, after long periods of redevelopment, it was awarded the EcoQuartier label for its landscaping, architectural and environmental achievements.

Cultural sites
