Neuilly-sur-Seine, a very dense large town on the edge of Paris
Bordering western Paris, between the Bois de Boulogne and the Seine, Neuilly-sur-Seine houses the population of a large town on a territory of less than 4 km², which makes it one of the densest communes in France. Yet it is neither a prefecture nor a subprefecture.
A residential and business town
Once an area of châteaux and parks, including that of King Louis-Philippe, Neuilly-sur-Seine was urbanized in the 19th century around the axis that extends the Champs-Élysées toward La Défense, now the Avenue Charles-de-Gaulle. One of the wealthiest residential towns in France, it is also home to many corporate headquarters and professional firms, drawn by the proximity of the La Défense business district, just across the Pont de Neuilly. Its fully built-up territory, with no room to expand, explains a population that has been stable for several decades.
