A new music festival and a new program for Kremlin-Bicêtre. Join us on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 from 6 p.m. for an eclectic evening of music, sure to delight all music lovers.
Kremlin-Bicêtre is located between Villejuif and Gentilly, on the outskirts of Paris, just off the Porte d'Italie in the 13th arrondissement of the Val-de-Marne. Today, the town is best known for its hospital and its eventful history.
A number of interesting facts surround the commune's history. The hospital was founded in the 17th century: under the monarchy, it was a hospice, a lunatic asylum and a state prison. Under Napoleon I's Empire, the hospice cared for soldiers and veterans of the Russian campaigns. The name Kremlin-Bicêtre is thought to have originated at this time: in the 19th century, the commune consisted mainly of the hospital and the surrounding fields. During the Russian campaign, a cabaret called Au sergent du Kremlin or Le Nouveau Kremlin opened its doors in the district. The term Bicêtre comes from the feudal castle of Winchester, whose name was changed to Vincestre, then Bichestre... Until it became the name we know today.
A fascinating story for heritage aficionados... But it's not nearly as captivating as the musical entertainment scheduled for June 21 in the commune! Discover the program for the evening in the Parc de Bicêtre, open to all, young and old, residents and visitors alike.
