Clichy, frequently referred to as Clichy-la-Garenne, is a dynamic city located in the Hauts-de-Seine department, bordering the northern edge of Paris. Its historical prestige dates back to the Merovingian period when it served as a royal capital for kings like Dagobert I. The suffix 'la Garenne' highlights its past as a royal hunting ground. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Clichy became a cornerstone of the industrial belt surrounding Paris, hosting massive gasworks and chemical plants that fueled the nation's modernization.
