An industrial Parisian banlieue whose bench is essentially an annex of bourgeois and bohemian 19th-century Paris — people were born in the maternity clinics of Clichy-Levallois and then lived their lives in the city proper. The outsized Bank and Business counts come from the Haussmann-era financier families who decamped just outside the octroi, while the thick Fencer and Driver numbers belong to the belle-époque sporting set and the early motor-racing scene. The Philosopher signal is small but famous — Clichy's quiet contribution to the Sorbonne.
