Description
Summary:Melun, near Paris, is the main town in the departement of Seine-et-Marne and the presence of the military in the town had a considerable influence on its development throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In 1780 a cavalry regiment was installed at Melun in a disused convent on the south bank of the Seine. The military occupation of the neighbourhood grew until the end of the nineteenth century. Then, in 1905, the barracks were moved to the north of the town, leaving a space by the river where the local authorities developed a large housing estate. The construction of new military facilities on the outskirts of the town led to urban development in this neighbourhood too.
