Drancy

Drancy sits in Seine-Saint-Denis northeast of Paris and covers a territory with residential neighborhoods, parks and public facilities. The area borders several neighboring communes and is crossed by roads and a rail line.

The commune grew from a medieval village and expanded in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway. During World War II, a complex served as a transit camp for deportations to the east.

The population of Drancy includes residents from numerous national origins, with the city maintaining active partnerships with Eisenhüttenstadt, Prague, and Willenhall.

Getting there is easy on the RER B line, which serves several stations within the commune. Visitors arriving by car will find parking in residential areas and near the park.

Parc de Ladoucette holds a 16th-century castle surrounded by lawns and a pond. The grounds also host a small educational farm that families often visit.
