Nogent-sur-Marne: the "beach of Paris"

Nogent-sur-Marne is a small town of 33,000 inhabitants, nicknamed the "beach of Paris" since the 19th century, when Parisians came to spend their Sundays by the Marne. The town is still lively with its summer guinguettes, its park, and its dense associative life. In December, the Christmas market perpetuates this tradition of welcome and conviviality that has characterized Nogent for generations.

The town is also an active cultural hub, with its Municipal Museum and its numerous artistic events throughout the year, in line with the tradition of painters who came to draw inspiration there by the Marne.
