At the microphone of France Bleu Paris, Pierre Garzon, mayor of Villejuif, tells us about the history of the city as well as the origin of its name.
The origins of the city date back to Roman times. Villejuif has a rich historical heritage, its 13th century Saint-Cyr-Sainte-Julitte church is one of the testimonies of its medieval past.
Villejuif is renowned for its world-renowned medical center, in particular with the Gustave-Roussy Institute, the largest center for the fight against cancer in Europe.
“For us, it is a source of immense pride because we treat people every year”
In our podcast you can hear our host, Clarisse Delezaive, take you to the different parks of the city.
On this September 1st begins the “Golden September”: the month is dedicated to the fight against childhood, childhood and young adult cancers.

Thierry Boeuf’s Tour d’Île-de-France saga:
The town has always been administered by communist mayors, except for a mandate between 2014 and 2020. The UMP mayor even wanted to rename a place Georges Marchais, a figure of the Communist Party in the 70s and 80s in favor of another Georges, the Professor Mathé, oncologist at the Paul Brousse hospital in Villejuif.
After a legal battle, the administrative court canceled the change of name disputed by the family of the former secretary general of the Communist Party, and in particular his wife, Liliane Marchais.
You can hear in our podcast George Marchais during the inauguration of the Villejuif Paul Vaillant Couturier terminus of metro line 7 in 1985. An inauguration in two stages: by the right and by the Communist Party.
In addition, Villejuif is well known for its shared gardens called family and collective gardens!
Finally Villejuif had the honors of a song by one of the greats of the French repertoire, Serge Reggiani, which pays tribute to all the patients of the Gustave Roussy hospital, the leading center for the fight against cancer in Europe.
