Transportation Infrastructure

A highly developed and modern network

The decision to set up in the HAUTS-DE-SEINE means being just at the gates of Paris, one of Europe's leading economic capitals. With a total area of 176 square kilometers, the HAUTS-DE-SEINE Department spans 25 kilometers from the Northwest to the Southwest of Paris and is France's most dynamic area, allying both businesses development and good living.

Optimum accessibility

Thanks to its geographic situation and its highly developed transportation network, the HAUTS-DE-SEINE Department is at the center of national and international business and decision making. By rail, road, river or air, the HAUTS-DE-SEINE has a rich and coherent transportation network which is constantly evolving to meet the needs of businesses and citizens alike.

The network today

The HAUTS-DE-SEINE Department :
- The HAUTS-DE-SEINE Department is near the international airports of Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (15 minutes from Gennevilliers) and Orly (5 minutes from Antony via Orlyval).
