Le Plessis-Robinson history, Robinson treehouses and Place de la Mairie

Location overview: Nestled in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, Le Plessis-Robinson is a charming commune with a rich history and a distinctive residential identity. Its origins date back to medieval times, with early mentions of the village appearing in the 9th century. Historically, the area was shaped by a château, wooded land and nearby hunting grounds where royalty and nobility once enjoyed retreats away from Paris. The name “Robinson” was later added in reference to the famous treehouse restaurants of the 19th century, inspired by Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe and popular with Parisians seeking a green weekend escape.

Today, Le Plessis-Robinson is known for its careful urban planning, neoclassical architecture, landscaped streets and peaceful public spaces. The town has undergone a major transformation while keeping a traditional atmosphere around its squares and residential avenues. Visitors can enjoy the Place de la Mairie, elegant façades, cafés and pleasant walks toward Parc Henri-Sellier or Étang Colbert, both of which reinforce the garden-city character of the area.
