Val-de-Marne, Administrative department in Île-de-France, France
Val-de-Marne sits southeast of Paris and comprises 47 communes with Créteil serving as the prefecture city at its center. This administrative unit covers an area that blends urban neighborhoods, suburban districts, and riverside green spaces.
This administrative division formed on January 1, 1968, during the reorganization of governance around Paris. The reform separated parts of the old Seine and Seine-et-Oise to create new units.
This territory takes its name from the Marne river that flows through its communes and shapes parks along its banks. Residents use the public gardens beside the waterway for walking and leisure activities.
Visitors reach the different communes using metro lines, RER trains, and buses that travel southeast from Paris. Many public transport options run throughout the day at regular intervals, making it possible to travel without a car.
Within this area sits Marché de Rungis, the largest fresh produce market in Europe, supplying restaurants throughout France. Suppliers and traders often work during the early morning hours when the market is most active.
