Seine-et-Oise is a former department of France, which encompassed the western, northern and southern parts of the metropolitan area of Paris. Its prefecture was Versailles. Seine-et-Oise was disbanded in 1968 as part of the reorganization of the departments of the Paris metropolitan area. It was split into three smaller departments: Yvelines, Val-d' Oise, and Essonne. A small part of Seine-et-Oise was also merged with parts of the Seine department (also disbanded on the same date) to create the three new departments of Hauts-de-Seine, Val-de-Marne, and Seine-Saint-Denis.
Very good condition, approx. 12 x 17.25 inches.
