Puteaux
Encyclopedia
Puteaux is a commune
in the western suburbs of Paris
, France
. It is located in the heart of the Hauts-de-Seine
department 8.7 kilometres (5.4 mi) from the center of Paris
.
La Défense
, Paris' business district
hosting the tallest buildings in the metropolitan area, spreads over the northern part of Puteaux (the district being also divided between Courbevoie
and Nanterre
).
The inhabitants of Puteaux are called Putéoliens.
The name Putiauz comes from the old French Putel, which means a "quagmire" or "swamp" and was certainly making reference to the condition of the area before its reorganization.
But another etymology exists, hence the name Puteaux would come from Latin puteoli, plural of puteolus which means "little well" or "Water hole". The name of Puteaux in turn appears to the sixteenth century or seventeenth century.
Legend has it that Puteaux inspired the story of the gadfly from La Fontaine.
, Puteaux borders Courbevoie
to the north, Nanterre
to the west and Suresnes
to the south. In the east, Puteaux is connected to Paris by the bridge of Puteaux near Neuilly
and by the bridge of Neuilly (which is also used by Paris Métro Line 1
). The territory of the commune of Puteaux also includes the largest part of the Île de Puteaux, on the Seine.
The district Bas de Puteaux, located between the railway line and the Seine, is the oldest urbanized district. Notable in particular are the old church, the Théâtre des Hauts-de-Seine, the town hall and a commercial shopping mall
near the rues Jaurès, Eichenberger and Chantecoq. The town hall was built in 1934 and is a typical example of the architecture of this time. The boulevard Richard Wallace
is the Champs-Élysées
of Puteaux.
The district Haut de Puteaux, located to the east of the railway line, is a more recent district, made of several residences and HLM
(résidences des rosiers, Cartault, Marcellin Berthelot
, Bernard Palissy
) The Lorilleux residence, for example, was built on the site of the old ink manufacturing companies.
The district La Défense is located in the north, separated by the circular boulevard. The district, developed since the end of the 1950s, is one of the principal business districts in Europe
. It mainly consists of office buildings, but some notable dwellings can be found within the district as well (Tour Défense 2000
, résidence Boieldieu). Two thirds of the territory of La Défense is located within Puteaux, the remainder being divided between Courbevoie and Nanterre. Thus, the CNIT
, the Arche de la Défense
and the Quatre Temps shopping mall are in Puteaux.
The district Île de Puteaux, on which there are no dwellings besides some barges, shelters the sporting structures (tennis courts, football
pitch
, gymnasium, swimming pool) of Puteaux. A sporting complex, the Palais des sports, opened in July 2006.
and in Puteaux has the head offices of the Bureau d'Enquêtes sur les Événements de Mer
and of the Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and Sea.
of La Défense makes Puteaux one of the richest communes of France. Puteaux receives forty million euros per year coming from the companies within the district alone. Puteaux does not have a debt and its financial reserves, placed in Treasury bills, returns ten million euros in interest alone. The budget of Puteaux can thus exceed 200 million euros (reference 2005), for only 42,000 inhabitants.
Puteaux has a long industrial past, in particular the car industry (De Dion-Bouton
, but also Unic
, Saurer
and Daimler-Benz
), aeronautics : (Zodiac Group
), the armament industry : Atelier de Construction de Puteaux (APX), inks (Charles Lorilleux) and perfume
s (Coty
).
, UMP) was the mayor of Puteaux from 1969 to 2004. In 2004 he was succeeded by his daughter Joëlle Ceccaldi-Raynaud
(UMP). She was also temporarily appointed as a Member of Parliament for the 6th district of Hauts-de-Seine
(Puteaux/Neuilly-sur-Seine
) instead of Nicolas Sarkozy
.
The administration of Puteaux by Ceccaldi-Raynaud is considered authoritarian by certain people (the opposition but sometimes also certain people of their own political camp in Hauts-de-Seine). This criticism regularly has echoes in the media (like the daily newspapers Libération
, Le Monde
, the edition of Hauts-de-Seine of Le Parisien
and the news magazine L'Express
, which made a coverstory of it at the end of 2005).
In September 2005, Charles Ceccaldi-Raynaud announced his intention to become mayor again, instead of his daughter. However, his daughter refused to resign. A lot of fixing was needed, in particular in the Municipal council
(reported in a dispatch of the AFP
of November 21, 2005).
