Gournay-sur-Marne, Administrative commune in Seine-Saint-Denis department, France

Gournay-sur-Marne extends along the banks of the Marne River, featuring a town hall housed in a sixteenth-century castle with four decorative mascarons framing its windows.

Medieval Latin documents from the tenth through twelfth centuries mention this location as Gornaio castrum, though the exact origin of its name remains uncertain.

The Eugene Carriere Museum at 3 rue Ernest-Pecheur contains original paintings, prints, illustrations, and an artistic library of 1,200 books from the local painter.

While lacking direct metro access, residents reach Paris via the Chelles-Gournay station 1.3 kilometers away, connecting to RER line E for regular transport services.

Summer brings river activities through Passeurs de Marne and Passeurs de Rive, offering canal cruises and boat trips in partnership with Neuilly-sur-Marne and Noisy-le-Grand.
