Being part of the greater Paris metropolitan area, Saint Quentin-en-Yvelines boasts a population of nearly 150,000 residents. It is part of the Yvelines department and was one of the new towns of Paris. Every four years, the Paris-Brest-Paris bicycle race starts and finishes here. The Saint Quentin pond in the center of town was where the city originally got its name.
Where architecture and structure is concerned, the city of Saint Quentin-en-Yvelines is a remarkable mixture of avant-garde buildings, historical structures and traditional town center design.
