Bagnolet (French pronunciation: [baɲɔlɛ] ⓘ) is a commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 5.2 km (3.2 mi) from the center of Paris.

History

On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighboring communes. On that occasion, a small part of the commune of Bagnolet was annexed to the city of Paris. At the same time, the commune of Charonne was disbanded and divided between the city of Paris, Bagnolet, and Montreuil. Bagnolet received a small part of the territory of Charonne.

On 24 July 1867, a part of the territory of Bagnolet was detached and merged with a part of the territory of Romainville and a part of the territory of Pantin to create the commune of Les Lilas.

The town used to be the home of the Château de Bagnolet.

Population

Its inhabitants are called Bagnoletais.

Support for Georges Ibrahim Abdallah

In December 2013, the city's council voted to make Georges Ibrahim Abdallah an "honorary resident." The city council's motion, which did not mention Abdallah's murder of US diplomat Charles R. Ray and his role in the killing of Yacov Barsimantov, an Israeli diplomat, described him as a "communist activist" and a "political prisoner" who "belongs to the resistance movement of Lebanon" and is a "determined defender of the Palestinian just cause." The motion stated that Abdallah's release was being denied "primarily because of the intervention of the US government" and "To call for his liberation, the municipal council declares him an honorary citizen of Bagnolet."[5]

In July 2014, the administrative court in Montreuil revoked the city's motion to grant Abdallah honorary citizenship.[6]

Education

The commune has ten public preschools (maternelles), nine public elementary schools, two public junior high schools (collèges), and a comprehensive public senior high school (lycée polyvalent).[7]

There is a private junior and high school, Lycée professionnel et technologique Saint-Besnoît de l'Europe.[7]
