Nogent-sur-Marne, Administrative commune in Val-de-Marne, France
Nogent-sur-Marne is a commune in Val-de-Marne located along the eastern bank of the Marne River, approximately 10.6 kilometers from central Paris. The settlement stretches along the waterfront and connects residential neighborhoods with riverbank paths and municipal green spaces.
The territory underwent major changes in 1887 when a portion separated to form Le Perreux-sur-Marne. Paris later annexed parts of Bois de Vincennes in 1929, further altering the municipal boundaries.
The Théâtre Antoine Watteau presents musical performances throughout the year and offers educational programs along with contemporary concerts for the local population. The venue bears the name of an 18th-century painter known for his depictions of outdoor entertainments.
The commune offers one-hour free parking in designated areas to support local commerce and ease access to municipal facilities. This arrangement allows visitors to run short errands in the area without parking difficulties.
The name derives from Novigentum, potentially referencing new inhabitants brought by Roman armies during the early settlement period. This Latin root reflects the ancient presence in the region long before modern boundaries were drawn.
