Val Maubuée

Val Maubuée is an urban development area near Paris spanning six municipalities and defined by lakes created from the Maubuée stream. The landscape blends constructed spaces with water features that shape how the area looks and feels.

The area began as Sector II of the Marne-la-Vallée new town in 1972, designed to accommodate growth from Paris. Industrial activity predates this however, with the Menier factory operating here since the 19th century.

The name Val Maubuée comes from the stream that shaped this land and remains visible through several lakes dotting the area. The Menier factory in Noisiel, now Nestlé's European home, shows how industrial sites become part of the local identity through their distinctive red brick buildings.

The area is accessible through four RER A stations: Lognes, Noisiel, Noisy-Champs, and Torcy, all connecting directly to Paris. Highway A4 also passes through, making car travel straightforward.

The area features a network of hiking paths connecting urban and natural spaces throughout the territory. These routes allow visitors to explore the lakes and green zones away from busy streets.
