Aubervilliers

Aubervilliers is a commune in Seine-Saint-Denis, located northeast of Paris and bordering several neighboring towns. The Canal Saint-Denis runs through the western part of the commune, linking the Seine with the Canal de l'Ourcq.

The settlement began in the 11th century and evolved from a farming village into an industrial site. Factories moved in during the 19th century, reshaping the landscape entirely.

The Theatre of the Commune and Zingaro Equestrian Theatre present regular performances, contributing to the artistic development of this multicultural municipality.

The town has several schools and public facilities accessible to families and residents. Streets and pathways run through residential areas, commercial zones, and along the canal.

A fort from the mid-19th century stands within the town, recalling the military defenses that once encircled Paris. This structure belonged to a larger ring of fortifications designed to protect the capital.
