On the RER B, stop one stop before the Arena Paris Nord, in Villepinte, and enjoy a 200-hectare oasis of nature in the Parc départemental du Sausset.

You will discover a pond, a forest, meadows and bocages and even an educational vineyard. A park also rich in surprising fauna and flora, with rare species in Île-de-France.

Enjoy free activities for all: walks, playgrounds, nature activities, sports trails...

On the way to the Aquatic Centre

The final resting place of the French sovereigns

On the way to the Aquatics Centre, push one station further on the RER D. Here you are in the center of the city of Saint-Denis, your eyes shining in front of its sumptuous Basilica.

Built in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Cathedral Basilica of Saint-Denis is the burial place of 43 kings, 32 queens and a dozen servants of the French monarchy. In total, the monument offers 70 recumbent statues and tombs, but also magnificent stained glass windows and impressive Gothic architecture.
