Presentation of Chilly-Mazarin

Chilly-Mazarin (19,938 inhabitants in 2021; 557 ha) is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris. There are 19,950 inhabitants on 5.57 km².
A small part of Orly International Airport lies on the territory of the commune of Chilly-Mazarin.

Chilly-Mazarin developed around a Roman villa named Cailliacum (which evolved into Chailly then Chilly). The suffix -Mazarin was added in 1822 to distinguish it from other French villages named Chilly and
refers to the Mazarinettes, the famed nieces of Cardinal Mazarin who resided several years at a mansion in Chilly. The fourth niece, Hortense Mancini (1646-1699), transmitted to her son the titles of Marquess of Chilly and Duke of Mazarin which were ultimately passed to the House of Grimaldi, reigning house of Monaco.
