How to reach and move around in Saint-Mammès…
The south Seine et Marne department is bounded on the North by the Brie plateau and on the South by the Gâtinais region, it is also located between the Beauce plains to the West and the Champagne region to the East.
This area is crossed by the valleys of the Seine, Yonne and Loing, its main rivers.
It has naturally been known since the dawn of time. Important archaeological remains attest to human settlements. (The Pincevent site for example…).
Urbanization developed naturally beside these rivers and essentially around their confluences. Many sites have become big agglomerations.
The advent of the railway in the late 19th century has also strengthened the residential and industrial vocation of these towns, which does not prevent the area being covered for 90% by agricultural or wooded terrain.
Saint-Mammès has always lived from the waterway. The village has kept the memory of these past decades intact, where the barge people’s intense activity has developed one of the most important French capitals of waterway transport.
The town of Saint-Mammès is located in the south of the Seine-et-Marne department, at the confluence of the Seine and Loing rivers. .
