About Mairie de La Courneuve

The history of La Courneuve is marked by three important stages. The first dates from the end of the 19th century. The railway line crosses the city and brings with it incredible industrial development. The second stage is that of the sixties with the massive construction of social housing desired by the public authorities, in particular that of the 4000. The third, the current stage, is that of the profound transformation of the city, which is illustrated through a vast urban and human project, developed with the population. From the first migrants who came to work in the factories to those who today flee war or poverty, La Courneuve has long been a land of welcome. It is a young, energetic, dynamic city, full of vitality and projects. Located just 5 km from Paris, La Courneuve is well served by communication routes (motorway A1, A 86) and public transport (RER B, metro line 7, tramway T1). Projects with more or less long-term horizons, such as the Dugny-La Courneuve station, on the route of the Tangentielle nord under construction, or the La Courneuve-Six-Routes station, the future metro line called Grand Paris Express, will complement this offer.
