More important river port of the Paris region, Gennevilliers extends to the North-West of Paris in a loop of the Seine. Long exploited as a quarry during the nineteenth century, the city was gradually built by dividing into eight large neighborhoods without having a real downtown. It is here that resides all the originality of the city. Eight districts for eight totally different atmospheres. The Old Gennevilliers also called the Village testifies to the birth of the city with its dwellings clustered around the church. To the north of the city stands the Luth attesting to the development of town planning in the years 1950/70. The City-Garden built between 1923 and 1934 is a residential area still very popular today. Then come the Ditch of Alms and the Chevrins. Then, the neighborhood of the Agnettes opens with its neighbor. The Grésillons and Chandon-Brenu are in full renewal while sheltering buildings of 1930. Finally, the Petit Gennevilliers points the end of his nose, or rather his pretty villas of the Second Empire. Gennevilliers, long rural, is today a full-blown and warm city where it is good to live.
