Departure from Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine)
For what will no doubt remain a long time to come, the names of Billancourt andÎleSeguin are associated with the Renault factories, which closed their doors in 1992. Boulogne-Billancourt’s industrial and working-class past is not limited to car manufacturing but also encompasses other sectors: laundries (to which we owe the fact that no railway line runs through the town), ice works, aeronautics, telecommunications equipment, cinema and the record industry… This urban walking tour, inspired by the brochure and information panels provided by the town’s Tourist Office, aims to retrace this working-class past. It also offers an opportunity to observe how the urban landscape of a town in the Petite Couronne of Paris has changed radically over the course of a few decades.

The second section of the women's march of 5 October 1789 takes more liberties with the supposed route of the procession at the time.
