The Avenue de la Belle Gabrielle and Avenue de la Source, being situated along the Bois and in a quiet area, are sought after. Quite appreciated by the families who can find there some pretty houses with a garden, the city also benefits from its quick access to A 4 motorway, whether you wish to leave the capital or on the contrary be in the heart of it within a few minutes.
Founded in the XIIth Century, the City of Vincennes is steeped in History, between the famous Château and the Bois bearing the same name.

It is served by three métro stations on line 1 : Porte de Vincennes, Bérault, Château de Vincennes, Regional Fast Train RER A, station Vincennes and a bus terminal.
Its specificity is to be organized in several micro-districts and much appreciated residential areas. The most sought-after avenues are the Cours Marigny, Avenue Foch and Avenue des Minimes, bordering the Bois. The Magical Square which extends from the Château to the Mairie and to the Church attracts young families, delighted to enjoy the quite numerous shops and street markets of the heart of town. Not to mention the great number of educational institutions.
In close proximity to Paris and served by the public transports (lines 1 and 8 of the métro, four bus lines), Saint-Mandé has something for everyone. Nicknamed ‘the Neuilly of the East side’, this commune preserves its image of a residential town, for it has a unique asset : it borders the Bois de Vincennes all along. And it is also situated opposite the zoo.
The families enjoy its calm and being at walking distance from the Bois de Vincennes. Lakes Daumesnil and of Saint-Mandé are there for boat rides, relaxation, bicycle paths and large greens.
The favourite alleys are the ones bordering the Bois : the Chaussée de l’Etang and Avenue Daumesnil. The buildings are of Haussmannian or finely-constructed modern style. A few rare pavilions with a garden or private villas still remain, extremely sought-after, in a highly-confidential market.
Five villages compose Saint-Maur, the city entirely embedded in a loop of river Marne. Even if its access is complicated by the presence of bridges, the city benefits from an exceptional environment and conserves its ‘countryside in town’ spirit.

Situated along the Bois de Vincennes on its South part, and adjacent to Nogent-sur-Marne North, Fontenay-sous-Bois is a pleasant commune. The district of the Val de Fontenay, leading to Rosny-sous-Bois, is more working-class and hosts buildings and commercial malls.

The commune of Maisons-Alfort is partly located on the edge of the river Marne and is served by three metro stations (line 8 : Maisons-Alfort - Ecole Vétérinaire, Maisons-Alfort – Stade and Maisons-Alfort Les Juliottes.
This town is composed of many residential districts, with pretty millstone houses (in the sector called Charentonneau, Ecole Vétérinaire) at attractive prices if you consider how near Paris is, less than ten minutes away, door-to-door. A rather confidential city, it is today undergoing a big revival.
These two communes benefit from the charming banks of river Marne and of the Bois de Vincennes, in the vicinity of Paris. Saint-Maurice, chic and discreet, extends all along between the Plateau de Gravelle and the Marne, without being able to widen. Its high (and unique) street links Paris to Saint-Maur, and is lined with pavilions and pretty little buildings. Its activity focuses around Place Montgolfier and the registered office of Véolia company. A number of residences have a view over one of the branches of river Marne and over the locks leading the barges through the capital.
Some pretty (but rare) properties are for sale, at a competitive price, if you consider how much living space they offer, which makes them attractive on the Parisian real-estate market.
Charenton-le-Pont has within a few years earned itself the strong reputation of a vibrant and pleasant town. Bordering the Bois de Vincennes in its North part, this commune offers a privileged living environment though at the gateway of Paris. It benefits from its original situation, facing the Bois and along the river Marne. Served by métro line 8 with stations Porte de Charenton, Liberté and Charenton-Ecoles, this city is particularly dynamic. It hosts great commercial mall Bercy 2, the registered office of Essilor company, bank Crédit Foncier and the new commercial district of La Coupole on Avenue de Paris.
Long considered as less prestigious as its eminent neighbours of Saint-Mandé and Vincennes, you can however find in this town some quiet residential districts, numerous shops and new buildings, at still moderate price.
