Bry-sur-Marne

Bry-sur-Marne is a small residential commune located southeast of Paris that stretches along the Marne river. The town has a quiet, suburban character with green riverside areas and local streets that reflect its waterside setting.

The settlement first appears in written records from the 9th century when King Charles the Bald issued a charter. A church was constructed in the 12th century and has remained a landmark of the town ever since.

The Institut National de l'Audiovisuel is headquartered here, housing extensive collections of French film and television recordings. This presence shapes the town's identity as a center for audiovisual preservation and media history.

The town is easily accessible from Paris by public transport and offers amenities for daily needs. Riverside paths along the Marne invite walking and leisure, with bus connections linking the place to nearby areas.

The Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais church holds a historical diorama created by inventor Louis Daguerre. This hand-painted artwork features moving scenes and remains one of the rare surviving examples of this specialized painting technique.
