Highlights of 2026

Positioned on the right bank of the Seine in the Hauts-de-Seine department, Levallois-Perret ranks among the most densely populated cities in Europe and has undergone a massive economic transformation in recent decades. Originally a heavily industrialized suburb where Gustave Eiffel manufactured his legendary structural ironwork and Citroën produced the iconic 2CV automobile, the skyline is now dominated by sleek glass office towers and the headquarters of global corporations. Despite this bustling modernity, the city features pockets of tranquility, most notably the Parc de la Planchette with its meticulously landscaped botanical beds. Culturally and historically, the absolute highlight is the Île de la Jatte, a narrow island situated in the middle of the Seine. During the late 19th century, this spot was a magnet for Impressionist and Pointillist painters; it is where Georges Seurat famously composed his monumental masterpiece, “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.” Today, a well-signposted art trail along the riverbank guides visitors to the exact locations where these historic easels were once placed. The central market, the Halles de Levallois, draws food enthusiasts with its premium selections of oysters, aged cheeses, and fine wines. Connected via Metro Line 3, the city gives seamless access to central Paris in under fifteen minutes.
