==History== The eastern part of Chavannes-près-Renens was already inhabited during the time of the Romans. A bronze figurine, an axe, knives and several iron items have been found from that period. From the middle ages until the 18th century it was a rural town focused on agriculture.<ref name="ChavannesHier">[https://www.chavannes.ch/decouvrir/presentation-de-la-commune/chavannes-hier.html Chavannes Hier] accessed 15 June 2020.</ref> Chavannes-près-Renens is first mentioned in 1224 as ''Chavanes''. In another document from October 1272 the former bisschop of Lausanne [[:fr:Jean de Cossonay|Jean de Cossonay]] talks about the territory of Chavannes as well as its mills.<ref name="ChavannesHier"/>
