Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. At 674,843 square kilometres, France is the world's 40th-largest country after Myanmar. France is a member of The European Union and Paris is the capital of this nation. The sole official language of France is French. Since prehistoric times, France has been a crossroads of trade, migrations, and invasions.
Clichy sometimes is a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 6.4 kilometers from the center of Paris. It is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe. The headquarters of the L’Oreal Group, the world's leading company in cosmetics and beauty, Bic, one of the biggest pen producers in the world, and Sony France, the world's leading company in electronics and music, are located in Clichy
Clichy was the capital of the Merovingians during the rule of Dagobert I. In 1830, part of the territory of Clichy was detached and became the commune of Batignolles-Monceau. On January 1, 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighboring communes. Most of Batignolles-Monceau was annexed by the city of Paris, and forms now most of the 17th arrondissement of Paris, but a small part of the territory of Batignolles-Monceau was returned to Clichy. On January 11, 1867, part of the territory of Clichy was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Neuilly-sur-Seine to create the commune of Levallois-Perret.
The canton covers a part of the commune, the other part is in the northern part of Levallois-Perret. Clichy is served by Mairie de Clichy station on Paris Metro line 13. Clichy is also known as the town of best geographical environment and has traced its origins back to prehistoric times.
