Vaucresson (French pronunciation: [vokʁəsɔ̃] ⓘ) is a commune in the western suburbs of Paris, France.
Vaucresson contains abundant parkland; 22 of its 308 hectares are classed as natural zones.
Today Vaucresson is principally a wealthy residential community, and has the ninth-highest household income of any commune in France.
The name was given as a reminder of the first hot air balloon which set off from the Chateau de Versailles the 19 September 1783 and landed in Vaucresson, carrying a duck, a rooster and a lamb.
Public schools: Lycée Alexandre Dumas in nearby Saint-Cloud serves students from Vaucresson.
