Vitry-sur-Seine (; 'Vitry-on-Seine') or simply Vitry is a commune in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, France, from the centre of Paris.
==Name== Vitry-sur-Seine was originally called simply Vitry. The name Vitry comes from Medieval Latin Vitriacum, and before that Victoriacum, meaning "estate of Victorius", a Gallo-Roman landowner. In 1897 the name of the commune officially became Vitry-sur-Seine (meaning "Vitry upon Seine"), in order to distinguish it from other communes of France also called Vitry.
