Why visit
Boulogne-Billancourt is the third most populous commune of the Île-de-France after Paris and Saint-Denis; it grew out of a wine-growing village on the Seine, and the Île Seguin in its river, a Renault factory for most of the twentieth century, now carries an art centre.
Origins and history
In the early Middle Ages the future Boulogne was wooded countryside crossed by the pont de Saint-Cloud around 630, with the royal gibbet standing there around 841. From 1109 a hamlet of woodcutters of the parish of Auteuil, Les Menuls-lès-Saint-Cloud, turned into a wine-growing village: in 1260 Saint Isabelle built the abbey of Longchamp there, later a centre of the cultural life of the Parisian aristocracy, and in 1330 the church of Notre-Dame was erected at its southern edge by Philippe le Long. The name Boulogne-Billancourt was adopted late, in 1926, marking both the dismantling of the vast territory of Longchamp for the benefit of the sixteenth arrondissement and the addition of Billancourt, a hamlet of Auteuil granted in 1860 as compensation, which in the interwar years became the historic seat of the Renault works.
