Bonneuil-sur-Marne, commune in Val-de-Marne, France
Bonneuil-sur-Marne is a French commune located in Val-de-Marne near Paris, situated along the Marne river. The town offers a mix of older residential buildings and modern facilities, along with a major river port that handles millions of tons of goods annually.
The town grew from a small village and was once home to two seigneurial estates, of which only the 17th century Rancy estate remains today. A major turning point came in 1916 with the construction of the port, which quickly developed into one of the largest river ports in the region.
The name Bonneuil-sur-Marne refers to its riverside location on the Marne river. The town keeps its heritage alive through local festivals and cultural events that bring people together and celebrate shared traditions.
The town has no station of its own, but the nearest one in neighboring Sucy-en-Brie connects it directly to Paris via the RER A line. Multiple bus lines also serve the area, and hotels and restaurants are available for visitors who wish to stay overnight.
The area is home to a local brewery called Deck & Donohue where visitors can watch beer being made right in town. This is a surprising industrial activity for a small commune and shows the entrepreneurial spirit of local residents.
