Serris, commune in Seine-et-Marne, France
Serris is a commune in Seine-et-Marne, part of the Val d'Europe area with modern buildings, residential blocks, and shopping centers lining its streets. The flat terrain features wide roads, parks, and green spaces, while small waterways manage rainfall drainage.
Serris began as a small agricultural village where farmers grew grain and produced charcoal from local forests. From the 1960s onward, the area underwent major transformation, with a new church replacing the medieval one, and farmland giving way to modern urban development.
The name Serris reflects its farming past, though the town has transformed into a modern center. Outdoor markets and local festivals on weekends bring residents together and maintain a sense of community life.
The RER train line connects the town to Paris, making arrival straightforward, and buses serve the area well, though most visitors find a car helpful for getting around freely. Roads near shopping centers and toward Disneyland tend to be especially busy.
The town sits just north of Disneyland Paris, yet many visitors never notice Serris exists while passing the famous theme park. This proximity shapes daily life, with signs and references to the attraction visible throughout the town.
