The banks of the Seine at Plaine Commune

A breath of fresh air and creativity just outside Paris!

Want to see the city differently? Take a deep breath of fresh air while discovering a living, inspiring heritage? Welcome to Plaine Commune’s banks of the Seine! From L’Île-Saint-Denis to Épinay-sur-Seine and Saint-Denis, the river is much more than a backdrop: it’s a veritable playground for walkers, artists and nature lovers.

A green spot to relax Peace of mind

The banks of the Seine have been given a facelift, and it shows! At L’Île-Saint-Denis, nature reigns supreme: there are gentle paths for strolling along the water’s edge, belvederes for admiring the sunset over Paris, and even shared gardens where residents grow fruit and vegetables right in the middle of the city. It’s also here that you can admire the Écoquartier fluvial, an example of sustainable urban planning in which biodiversity is given pride of place.

In Épinay-sur-Seine, the park on the banks of the Seine is an invitation to relax, with a bicycle path, petanque courts and an ephemeral guinguette in summer… A great way to enjoy the sunny days!
