A pleasant day trip from Paris | Bridges over the Marne, Lagny (toward Paris) |
Some many years ago in Canberra, we became friends with a French couple and their family. We’ve stayed in touch since they returned to France and catch up when visiting each other’s country. Our friends now have moved to the town of Lagny-sur-Marne, a very pleasant place with a population of about 20,000, situated some 30km east of Paris on the Marne River. It was a foregone conclusion that we’d visit them while in France. Lagny goes back to mediaeval times, when it would have been a rural village: now it is part of the commuter area around Paris. This won’t be a large page, but I hope it gives some feel for a very pleasant area, so near to a major metropolis, yet so different – and worthy of a visit. |

If I hadn't known you were in France, this page could have described a day out from London along the Thames (real Ratty territory) ...even down to the hassles of getting there! | lynnehamman Thu Apr 2, 2009 13:42 UTC
French villages always look so quaint & charming- as does Lagny. The river looks beaut. I had a laugh reading your transport tip- THAT is what happens sometimes in India when catching trains! LOL! | mvtouring Tue Apr 8, 2008 07:01 UTC
Could go here I suppose on day trip, but what if I get lost ;-) | Kuznetsov_Sergey Thu Nov 29, 2007 09:55 UTC
I hope that TV-news which we watch these days from Paris surbubs and area don't touch Lagny - beautiful medivial town where your friends live. Thanks George for the virtual tour! |
