Have you ever heard of a town that was once a favorite hunting ground for French kings? Verrières-le-Buisson, a charming town located just southwest of Paris, boasts a rich history dating back to the 8th century. The town was originally called “Villa Vedrarias” and was owned by the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Près. It was during the reign of Louis XIV, known for his love of hunting, that the town was given the name Verrières-le-Buisson, reflecting its extensive forest. This forest was once a royal hunting ground, and its tranquil atmosphere still evokes the spirit of those bygone days. The town, known for its picturesque landscape, has six castles and mansions. A key figure in Verrieres-le-Buisson’s history is the Vilmorin family, who established a seed company in the 19th century and left a lasting legacy through their arboretum, today a regional nature reserve. The arboretum is a testament to their passion for horticulture and botany. Today, Verrières-le-Buisson embraces its “village” character within the bustling Parisian agglomeration and its residents, known as “Verriérois,” take pride in their town’s unique blend of history and modern life.
