Fête de Puteaux

Puteaux in celebration: a vibrant town at the foot of La Défense

Puteaux (92800) is a town in Hauts-de-Seine with approximately 47,000 inhabitants, closely linked to the La Défense business district which borders its territory to the east. Despite this proximity to the business world and its skyline of skyscrapers, Puteaux has managed to preserve its identity as a popular town, with a lively town center, quality sports and cultural facilities, and a dense associative life. Its Annual Festival perfectly reflects this duality between urban modernity and community roots.
