Paris – Clichy (Marie De Clichy)

Paris – We live in a suburb of Paris that is just north west of downtown.  Our Metro stop is called Marie de Clichy.  It is on line 13 of the RATP (Metro Paris).

Clichy (sometimes unofficially Clichy-la-Garenne) is a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 6.4 km (4 miles) from the center of Paris. It is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe.

The headquarters of the L’Oréal Group, the world’s leading company in cosmetics and beauty, Bic, one of the biggest pen producers in the world, and Sony France,

Clichy

It is served by a subway line from the Porte de Clichy, by an arterial highway surrounding Paris, and by suburban train service. The Beaujon Hospital, (We live 2 minutes from this hospital) one of the largest and most modern in the Paris region, is located in the town. The Church of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, built when the saint was village priest at Clichy (1612–25), is on the boulevard Jean-Jaurès. The suburb’s manufactures include mechanical, electrical, and chemical products.  The population is around 55,000 people
