Créteil, Administrative center in Val-de-Marne, France

Located 12 kilometers east of Paris, Créteil extends across both banks of the Seine River and functions as the prefecture of Val-de-Marne department.

The settlement dates to the Neolithic period, with the first written record appearing in 865 when it was documented as Cristoilum in a martyrology.

The University Paris-Est Créteil Val de Marne serves over 30,000 students through its extensive network of educational facilities and research centers.

Four stations on Paris Metro Line 8 connect Créteil to central Paris, providing efficient transportation options for residents and visitors.

The Créteil Lake, formed from a former gypsum and gravel quarry, now serves as a recreational water sports destination for the entire region.
