Suresnes

Suresnes is a French commune in the department of Hauts-de-Seine, in the western inner suburbs of Paris, about 9.3 kilometres from the centre of the capital. It lies across the Seine from the Bois de Boulogne and borders the communes of Nanterre, Puteaux, Rueil-Malmaison and Saint-Cloud. Its landmarks include the Mémorial de la France combattante at Fort Mont-Valérien, where a ceremony is held each year on 18 June, the Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial, and the Foch Hospital. The town hall was completed in 1889, and in 1974 the Spanish Socialist Workers Party held its 26th Congress here, at which Felipe González became its leader. Rail and tram services connect it to La Défense, and the 2023 population was 48,956.
