Clamart
Clamart (French pronunciation: [klamaʁ] ⓘ) is a commune in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, France. It is in Hauts-de-Seine, 8.7 km (5.4 mi) from the centre of Paris, on the border with both Essonne and Yvelines.
The town is divided into two parts, separated by a forest (the Bois de Clamart, part of the larger Forêt domaniale de Meudon): Bas-Clamart, the historical centre, and Petit-Clamart, with urbanisation developed in the 1960s replacing pea fields. The canton of Clamart includes only part of the commune; the other part of the commune belongs to the canton of Le Plessis-Robinson.
It is a relatively wealthy suburb of Paris. It is above Clamart that renowned photographer Nadar took the world's first aerial photograph in 1858.
Clamart is divided in seven neighbourhoods: Centre, Plaine, Gare, Petit-Clamart-Trivaux-Garenne, Jardin parisien-Panorama-Soleil levant, Galvents-Corby and Percy-Schneider.
Neighbouring communes are: Issy-les-Moulineaux, Vanves, Malakoff, Châtillon, Fontenay-aux-Roses, Le Plessis-Robinson, Bièvres, Châtenay-Malabry, Vélizy-Villacoublay and Meudon.
The city name is famous in French gastronomy. A speciality with peas as a side-dish, is called "à la Clamart". Close to Paris and its central marketplace (Les Halles), Clamart's peas were the first of the season.
The town's Hôtel de Ville was created from an ancient château which was acquired by the town council in 1842.
On 22 August 1962 the French President Charles de Gaulle was the target of an assassination attempt organised by the French Air Force Lieutenant-Colonel Jean Bastien-Thiry. As de Gaulle's black Citroën DS 19 sped through Petit-Clamart it was met by a barrage of submachine-gun fire. De Gaulle and his entourage, which included his wife, survived the attempt without any casualties or serious injuries while the attempt's perpetrators were subsequently all arrested and put on trial. The leader of the assassination attempt, Jean Bastien-Thiry, was executed by firing squad after his 1963 conviction, and remains the most recent person to be executed by firing squad in France.
