Welcome to Val-de-Marne, a department of nature and culture at the south-eastern gates of Paris, in the heart of the Île-de-France region. From the Bois de Vincennes (995 ha — Paris's largest green space, Daumesnil lake, Floral Park, Paris Zoo) to the Château de Vincennes (medieval royal fortress, Europe's tallest keep — 52 m, Flamboyant Gothic Sainte-Chapelle), passing by the banks of the Marne (guinguettes, boating, Impressionist landscapes — Nogent, Joinville, Champigny, Saint-Maur), the MAC/VAL (Val-de-Marne Contemporary Art Museum in Vitry-sur-Seine — Île-de-France's largest contemporary art museum outside Paris), Créteil (lake, Notre-Dame de Créteil cathedral, prefecture) and the Roseraie du Val-de-Marne (L'Haÿ-les-Roses — the world's oldest rose garden, 3,200 varieties), Val-de-Marne combines green lungs, royal heritage and riverside living. Treat yourself to a romantic weekend in a love room with private Jacuzzi in the most bucolic department of the inner suburbs. Neighboring departments: Paris (75), Hauts-de-Seine (92), Seine-Saint-Denis (93), Essonne (91) and Seine-et-Marne (77).

At the gates of Paris, Vincennes is dominated by its castle (12th-14th century — royal residence, 52m keep, the highest in Europe, Flamboyant Gothic Sainte-Chapelle inspired by that of Paris, King's and Queen's pavilions). The Bois de Vincennes (995 ha, Daumesnil lake — Temple of Love on the island, rowing boats, Minimes lake, racecourse) and the Parc Floral (Remarkable Garden — botanical collections, open-air summer concerts, butterfly garden) create an exceptional romantic natural setting in the heart of the metropolis.
The banks of the Marne between Nogent-sur-Marne and Joinville-le-Pont are the birthplace of the guinguettes (19th-century tradition — musette ball, accordion, dancing, riverside meals, immortalized by Renoir and Doisneau). Chez Gégène (historic guinguette in Joinville), the Pavillon Baltard (former structure of Les Halles de Paris, shows) and boat trips on the Marne perpetuate this popular and romantic art of living. A festive and gentle setting by the water.
Nestled in a loop of the Marne, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés seduces with its quays (promenades, barges, restaurants), the remains of the abbey of Saint-Maur (founded in the 7th century, one of the oldest abbeys in Île-de-France), the Parc de Saint-Maur (greenery, water features) and the peaceful residential atmosphere of this city surrounded by the river. An aquatic and calm living environment 20 minutes from Paris.
Vitry-sur-Seine has become a hub for contemporary art: the MAC/VAL (Val-de-Marne Contemporary Art Museum — the largest contemporary art museum in Île-de-France outside Paris, a collection of 2,000 works since 1950, free admission for permanent collections) and the murals (street art trail in the city — C215, Seth, Inti, one of Europe's largest open-air museums). A department at the forefront of artistic creation.
Créteil (prefecture, Créteil lake — leisure base, sailing, walks, Notre-Dame cathedral — contemporary architecture, regional shopping center) and Maisons-Alfort (Alfort National Veterinary School — founded in 1766, Fragonard Museum — unique anatomical cabinet of curiosities in the world, Réghat castle) form the administrative and scientific heart of the department.
The Roseraie du Val-de-Marne (L'Haÿ-les-Roses, created in 1899 by Jules Gravereaux) is the world's oldest rose garden: 3,200 varieties of roses, 13 thematic collections (old roses, Malmaison roses, wild roses), a French garden, pergolas, and a green theater. The blooming season (May-June) offers an intoxicating spectacle and fragrance. A romantic spot par excellence, 20 minutes from Paris.
Daumesnil Lake (Bois de Vincennes) is one of the most romantic sites in Paris: two islands (Reuilly Island — Corinthian-style Temple of Love, artificial grotto), rowing boats for rent, shaded walks, lawns. The Paris Zoo (renovated in 2014, five biozones — Patagonia, Sahel, Europe, Amazonia, Madagascar, Grand Rocher of 65 m) and the Vincennes Racecourse (trotting races, architecture) complete the offer.
Lake Créteil (42 ha, leisure center) offers sailing, rowing, lakeside walks, bird watching (herons, swans, grebes) and landscaped parks. An unexpected natural setting in the heart of the suburbs, ideal for a romantic stroll before returning to your love room.
The Fragonard Museum (Alfort Veterinary School, Maisons-Alfort) is one of the oldest and most surprising museums in France (1766): anatomical collections, Fragonard's écorchés (18th-century anatomical preparations, "horseman of the Apocalypse"), skeletons, curiosities. A unique place for curious couples and lovers of the unusual.
