L'Haÿ-les-Roses (French pronunciation: [laj le ʁoz] Audio file "Fr-Paris--L’Haÿ-les-Roses.ogg" not found) is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 8.5 km (5.3 mi) from the centre of Paris. L'Haÿ-les-Roses is a subprefecture of the Val-de-Marne département, being the seat of the Arrondissement of L'Haÿ-les-Roses. The current mayor, serving until 2026, is Vincent Jeanbrun, from the Republicans party.[2]
L'Haÿ-les-Roses owes the second part of its name to the Roseraie du Val-de-Marne rose garden located there.
Name
[edit | edit source] |
The commune of L'Haÿ-les-Roses was originally called simply L'Haÿ. The name was recorded for the first time in a charter of Charlemagne in 798 as Laiacum, sometimes also spelt Lagiacum, meaning "estate of Lagius", a Gallo-Roman landowner. The name was later corrupted into Lay, Lahy, before it eventually went back to L'Haÿ.
In May 1914 the name of the commune became officially L'Haÿ-les-Roses (meaning "L'Haÿ the roses") in honour of the Roseraie du Val-de-Marne (or Roseraie de L'Haÿ), the renowned rose garden created in 1899 by Jules Gravereaux, one of the founders of the Bon Marché department store in Paris.[3]
The Hôtel de Ville was rebuilt between 2002 and 2004.[4]
It is one of the very few French communes with a "ÿ" in its name. A full list of French toponyms containing "ÿ" can be found here.
