History
Hauts-de-Seine was largely part of the Seine d�partement, and to a lesser extent of the Seine-et-Oise d�partement, until 1968.
In the 1990s and early 2000s the Hauts-de-Seine got national attention for a corruption scandal pertaining to the misuse of public funds of the d�partement's housing projects, involving former minister and former president of the conseil g�n�ral of the Hauts-de-Seine Charles Pasqua and other personalities of the [[Rassemblement pour la R�publique|RPR]] party.
Geography
Hauts-de-Seine and two other small d�partements, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne, form a ring around Paris, known as the petite couronne.
