Etymology

The word Clichy-la-Garenne combines the town name Clichy with la Garenne, which means 'the warren' or 'hunting area', like the English word 'warren'. So imagine a small estate with fields and rabbit warrens outside Paris that later grew into a suburb and was once a royal home in the 7th century.
