The city - Les Mureaux 

Have talent

The extremely favourable geographical situation of Les Mureaux on the borders of the Vexin region and Normandy, only 37 km from Paris, makes the town an important communications cross-roads.
Served directly by motorway A13 and close to A14, the commune of Les Mureaux lies at the centre of a key node in the French road system. Paris is also only 35 minutes away by train

Dynamism...
In a state of rapid economic growth with its latter-day vocation in the space sector, and the birthplace of the Ariane European launcher, Les Mureaux hosts a number of leading-edge industries, represented by companies such as Aerospatiale, Pyroindustrie, Les Tuiles Lambert, and many others. The arrival of new small- and medium - sized companies, industries and crafts has been encouraged by the construction of business hotels and new industrial estates.

Past history and confidence in the future
A tiny village of wine growers, nursery and market gardeners until 1840, then an out-of-town weekend and holiday resort for Parisians with a taste for river boating up to the Second World War, Les Mureaux now boasts a population of close on 33,000.

The diversity of its facilities bears witness to the permanent aim of the Les Mureaux municipal authorities to ensure the best possible quality of life for the local population. Les Mureaux counts no fewer than 24 kindergarten and elementary schools, 3 secondary schools, 2 "lycées", 6 gymnasiums, a sports centre with swimming pool, 5 multi-activity cultural centres, a large media library (2,800 m²) and an arts centre catering for 800 students.
