Pierre de Coubertin Park sits on land that once hosted the Renault factories, a massive industrial complex that defined life in Boulogne-Billancourt for over a century. Where assembly lines and thousands of workers occupied the site, a park now stretches across the grounds, featuring broad lawns and gravel paths. Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, gives the park its name, linking this reclaimed industrial soil to a vision of international athletics that took root in France during the late nineteenth century.
