Val-de-Marne

Val-de-Marne extends across 245 square kilometers southeast of Paris, featuring 47 communes centered around the prefecture city of Créteil.

The department emerged on January 1, 1968, through the reorganization of the former Seine department and a portion of Seine-et-Oise during French administrative reforms.

The department maintains multiple educational institutions, including Paris-Est University, while hosting numerous public parks and cultural centers across its territory.

The territory connects to Paris through an extensive transportation network of metro lines, RER trains, and bus services, facilitating daily commutes for its 1.4 million residents.

The department contains the Rungis International Market, which operates as the largest fresh produce market in Europe, supplying restaurants and retailers throughout France.
