The city of SuresnesThe city of Suresnes

Suresnes is a little city of 45 000 inhabitants, in the western suburb of Paris.

We find some famous places like the American Cemetery on the Mont-Valérien, and the City Hall.

The Mont-Valérien is one of the high historic places in Suresnes. It was a place of pilgrimage until the 19th century. Today there is a War Memorial.

The American Cemetery is the unique cemetery where soldiers of the two wars rest.

Overlooking La Défense stands the Mont Valerien hill. There is a very pleasant path, take the opportunity to run there on the morning! The green hill contrasts with the very urbanised surroundings and you can watch beautiful cityscape, just like this one.

Built after the second world war, one of the oldest district of our city is the « Cité Jardin » that we can translate in english by « the Green Area ». This district has been named like that because the aim was to built a lot of habitations in a green place : to find a balance between nature and constructions. It is the most symbolic district of Suresnes.

The Suresnes's City Hall is located in the south of the city.

The media library where we can study, borrow books, CDs and magazines.
