Bagnolet sits just over three miles from the center of Paris, a commune with a name that points back to its medieval origins. The term Balneolum, which appears in early records, refers to an ancient bathing site that once occupied this land. While the modern skyline is defined by the Mercurial Towers, the area holds a history as a local gathering point that stretches back centuries.
