Sorry kids, it’s time for another history lesson. We know you’d rather be on TikTok, but that will just have to wait. We have standards, you know. The good thing is that your instructor today will be Monsieur Tim Traveler. There will be laughs. There will be silliness, but there will also be history, as only Tim can deliver it.
Do you want a blend of historical depth and modern suburban life that is actually quite interesting? Then our subject today Bagneux, France, is for you. Its history stretches back to ancient times, with evidence of Neolithic and Roman presence. he Church of Saint Hermeland is a significant landmark, with parts dating back to the 12th century, showcasing medieval history. And its name? The name “Bagneux” possibly derives from the Latin “balneolum,” suggesting the presence of ancient thermal springs.
Bagneux has transformed from a rural village into a suburban area alongside Paris’s expansion. And, not to be left behind, it is currently undergoing urban renewal, which also included the arrival of the Paris metro extension, which greatly improves its connectivity. Even better if you’re carless.
