Whether you’re a strolling enthusiast, an architecture buff or a bargain-hunter, we’ll guide you so you don’t miss a thing!

The must-haves

Looking for nature and committed experiences? LILO is a hybrid eco-place where urban agriculture, gastronomy and alternative events meet in a convivial atmosphere. For a green break, head for the Parc Départemental de L’Île-Saint-Denis, a veritable bubble of freshness along the Seine.
