Geographical location

history

The place was mentioned in a document from Charlemagne in 798 as Laiacum or Lagiacum . It is assumed that the name goes back to an earlier Gallo-Roman landowner and is to be interpreted as "possession of Lagius". Later the place was called Laï , Lay then Lahy and then until the 20th century L'Haÿ (another word for the rare letter “ Ÿ ”).

In the 13th century, the collegiate monastery of St. Marcel , located in the Bourg Saint-Marcel at the gates of Paris , owned fiefdoms and manus-mortua estates in Laï . In 1238 the canons there, in Ivry and in Theodosim ( Thiais ) released a total of 150 subjects or mani as well as their wives, children and other descendants from serfdom .

In 1899, Jules Gravereaux (1844–1916), one of the founders of the “Bon Marché” department store chain, designed the Roseraie du Val-de-Marne rosarium . The rose garden became known nationwide and therefore the city was officially renamed L'Haÿ-les-Roses ("L'Haÿ-the-roses") in May 1914 in honor of the famous rosarium .
