Le Plessis-Trévise, commune in Val-de-Marne, France
Le Plessis-Trévise is a commune in the eastern part of the Paris region with quiet residential areas featuring houses with small gardens. The town has narrow streets lined with old buildings and trees in its older quarters, and several small parks where people walk and spend time outdoors.
The town evolved from a rural village into a suburb of Paris while keeping many traditionally built houses. The 19th century brought notable structures like the Château des Tourelles, and the Saint-Antoine Farm dates back to the Middle Ages with fields that once served other purposes.
The town keeps a village-like character with neighbors who take pride in maintaining their homes and public spaces. Local traditions remain alive through simple community gatherings and market days, where residents connect with one another and share everyday moments.
The town is easily reached by public transport from Paris using two RER lines to nearby stations, followed by buses to the town center. Visitors can move around comfortably on foot or by bike, with clean and well-maintained streets and several parks offering places to rest.
The Tour Pintray was built in the 19th century out of spite when neighboring property owners had a dispute over a protective wall. The owner constructed this tower to display power and it stands today as an unusual mark of local stubbornness.
