neighboring green
spaces. Moreover, it is the only area
of the Île-de-France that
includes parks that
have been awarded "Natura
2000" prize: the

Parc du Sausset and the
Forêt du Bondy!The
area also offers many canals, including the
Canal de l'Ourcq and the Canal Saint-Denis, which will delight sport
lovers and those who
enjoy taking a pleasant stroll with family or friends.

accommodation is located in the 93 ( the
department),
your surroundings may be

contrast between neighboring municipalities is sometimes striking.
