History
On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighbouring communes. On that occasion, about two-thirds of the commune of Saint-Mandé was annexed to the city and now forms the neighbourhoods of Bel-Air and Picpus in the 12th arrondissement of Paris.
In 1929, Saint-Mandé lost an additional one quarter of its territory when the city of Paris annexed the Bois de Vincennes, a small part of which belonged to Saint-Mandé. The territorial losses of 1860 and 1929 left a rump of a commune and is what remains of Saint-Mandé today.
