Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Suburban commune in Val-de-Marne, France
Description
Villeneuve-Saint-Georges is a town in Val-de-Marne department, roughly 15 kilometers southeast of Paris, where the Yerres flows into the Seine. The town shows flat riverside areas along the water and higher plateaus farther from the banks.
History
The settlement began as a Roman town called Villa Nova and passed into the hands of Saint-Germain-des-Prés abbey during the Middle Ages. The current name emerged in 858 when relics of Saint George were brought here.
Culture
The local theater hosts regular dance and music performances while also serving residents as a cinema. The Seine and Yerres rivers shape the townscape and create waterfront areas where locals walk and spend time outdoors.
Practical
The RER D line connects the town directly to central Paris and allows quick trips into the capital. The railway grounds occupy a large part of the town and employ many residents in cargo sorting operations.
Did you know?
An old fort dating to 1876 still stands on the town edge and is used by Paris firefighters as a training center. The site covers 11 hectares and remains mostly closed to the public.
