Comment

Guinguette on the banks of the Seine, founded in 1893, located at 8 chemin du Halage, Villeneuve-le-Roi. Between 1930 and 1937, it was run by the renowned popular singer Galiardin. In 1937, Galiardin learned that his wife was cheating on him, shot her with a revolver, set fire to the establishment and committed suicide. The two charred bodies were found by the emergency services. The guinguette will never be rebuilt.
