Lagny-sur-Marne, Administrative commune in Seine-et-Marne, France.
Description
Lagny-sur-Marne is a commune in Seine-et-Marne department, situated east of Paris along the banks of the Marne River. The town stretches from the river valley up to the Brie plateau, combining historic buildings with residential neighborhoods from the 20th century.
History
An abbey was founded in the 7th century and grew into an important religious center after its renewal in the 10th century. During the Middle Ages, the settlement expanded around the monastery and developed into a market town on the trade route along the Marne.
