Boulogne-Billancourt
Once the industrial heartland of Renault's car empire, Boulogne-Billancourt has reinvented itself as a sleek riverside suburb of media headquarters, art deco streets and the striking La Seine Musicale concert hall on Île Seguin. Just west of central Paris along the Seine, it pairs village-like calm with genuine cultural weight, from the Musée Albert-Kahn's gardens to its film-studio past.

Two to three days is enough to cover the main sights such as La Seine Musicale, the Musée Albert-Kahn gardens and the Les Passages shopping district, while four to five days allows a fuller exploration paired with easy side trips into Paris.
