History

The Levallois-Perret municipality as well as the Front-de-Seine district, were previously part of Clichy history. The territory was originally a hunting area with little game. When in 1845, a large landowner, Étienne Noël, entrusted his land to Nicolas Eugène Levallois, this resulted in a noteworthy development for the village. In fact, with the help of his friend the surveyor Rivet, Nicolas Levallois made up plans for the town which later interested many buyers. In about twenty years, several buildings were constructed (schools, churches, companies, head offices…), and in 1867, the official creation of Levallois-Perret municipality was declared.

Today, the Front-de-Seine district is a large area close to the Seine, where the famous engineer Gustave Eiffel is buried.
