Lagny-sur-Marne is situated in the Île-de-France region, the area of France in which Paris (the French capital is located). An area roughly eight times the size of greater London, the region is easily the most urbanised area of France, though still boasts plenty of rural countryside. Unfortunately, with the exception of Paris, and perhaps Versaille...

Stroll along the River Marne
For the very best views of Lagny-sur-Marne, I highly recommend strolling along the Rive Droite (ie the Thorigny-sur-Marne side of the river) and soaking up the stunning Provençal vibe of the towns. On a particularly sunny day, the water is a turquoise blue and makes for wonderful photos. I personally brought a picnic along with me and loved sitting on a park bench and watching the world go by, all the while admiring the pretty river views.

Building of the current ecclesiastical building which stands on the site began in the first half of the 12th-century, and so much of the ensuing style is Gothic....

Today, a plaque commemorates her visits to Lagny-sur-Marne on the side of l’Hotel de Ville which overlooks the church.
Due to its small size and chocolate box nature (i.e. the charm in the Frenchs settlement is in its secluded nature and sheer beauty as opposed to the number of activities on offer), Lagny-sur-Marne can easily be enjoyed over the course of a long and lazy afternoon. The town doesn’t have its own train station, but is instead conveniently located jus...
