Louveciennes

Louveciennes is a village and commune in the Yvelines département, in France, in the western suburbs of Paris, between Versailles and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, and adjacent to Marly-le-Roi .

The Château du Barry , built in 1700 by Louis XIV, is in Louveciennes.

Louveciennes was frequented by impressionist painters in the 19th century; according to the official site, there are over 120 paintings by Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, and Monet depicting Louveciennes.

NATO had barracks for SHAPE here from 1959-1967, and the American School of Paris was located nearby from 1959 to 1967.

After SHAPE left France, the French government allocated the property to CII , which soon thereafter became part of CII Honeywell Bull. Groupe Bull still has offices in Louveciennes.
