Particularly well served by public transport, Colombes is the eleventh municipality of Île-de-France and the fourth municipality of Hauts-de-Seine. The historic heart is crossed by rue Saint-Denis, pedestrianized and lined with many shops. Its territory is rich in an industrial past and a particularly varied architectural heritage with mansions, beautiful bourgeois residences, 19th century holiday villas, residential housing estates or even beautiful architecture from the 1930s such as the former Hôtel des Postes by François Le Cœur in 1928.
The town benefits from several attractive green spaces such as the Pierre Lagravère park located on the banks of the Seine. The cultural and sporting offer is not to be outdone thanks to the Avant-Seine theater whose program delights young and old and the Yves-Du-Manoir sports complex, famous for having hosted the Summer Olympics in 1924 and soon, the field hockey events during the 2024 Olympic Games.

Carried away by his momentum, the Parisian who runs on a Sunday morning from Belleville to Pantin, will pass by Le Pré-Saint-Gervais without even noticing it… With 70 hectares of area, Le Pré-Saint-Gervais is the smallest town in ‘Ile-de-France.

Built on a meadow, the village offers the remains of a country walk, which Parisians came to do there in the 19th century, as well as workers’ workshops from the 20th century. Bamboo houses, atypical volumes, brick houses, narrow paths, vaulted porches… the architecture gives a particularly popular atmosphere to the “Pré”.

A veritable open-air laboratory, it hosts a park that combines greenery and street art, a market, part of which is covered, a village square that has a southern air and, recently, six shared gardens. Everything is good to create a family spirit and bring Gervaisiens together!

A very lively small town retaining its old charm.

The town, which borders the capital, is impressive for its geometrically shaped, non-conformist buildings, which give the architectural landscape a dynamic character.
On the Place de la République, you can see the Jeanne Hachette residential tower, an emblematic figure of the Beauvais resistance in the 15th century. This work was designed by Renée Gailhoustet, the city’s chief architect at the time. In collaboration with Jean Renaudie, she completely rethought the town centre’s urban plan. This project gave rise to the Jeanne Hachette shopping centre, for which it is internationally renowned.
Ivry-sur-Seine is a resolutely attractive town with its shops, markets and cultural centres such as the Manufacture des Œillets theatre and its eclectic programme. The city has also preserved its heritage linked to the manufacturing industry. Today, its renovated loft buildings create a contrast between industrial and modernist constructions.

Entering the city via the Chatou bridge, the magic of the city is instantly apparent thanks to the change of scenery offered by the banks of the Seine and its deep blue-green reflections. It is in this natural setting, between river, greenery and dance halls that impressionism was born. Renoir, Monet and Manet all immersed themselves in this changing environment where the play of light inspired their art. The arrival of the railway, linking Saint-Lazare to Le Pecq, transformed Chatou into a playground for artists and became a holiday resort for Parisians fleeing the capital.
Today, the town is firmly rooted on the banks of the Seine, with the Île des Impressionnistes, its banks and its effervescent antique and ham fair, a must for lovers of antiques and design. The commune offers a peaceful and pleasant living environment with its many schools, its market and its restaurants. It is not to be outdone in terms of culture and is home to the La Fournaise museum and the emblematic Louis Jouvet cinema. The Maison Levanneur is home to the Galerie Bessières, a modern art gallery exhibiting international artists such as Shawn Huckins, Stephen Ormandy and Christopher Kuhn.

A charming city, steeped in history and culture, conducive to a peaceful family life.
