Val-de-Marne
Val-de-Marne's greatest asset is its river tourism, with 15km of the Seine and 24km of the Marne running through the department. A variety of river ports cater to locals and city visitors, of which the marina at Nogent-sur-Marne is one of the most sizeable, with many colourful restaurants and bars along the river and a museum. In the 19th century, the riverbanks would draw the working classes out of Paris to enjoy the cheap wine produced here (known as guinget) and the local music halls were termed guingettes after the popular tipple. While many of these have disappeared, you can still visit Chez Gégène in Joinville-le-Pont which has remained open since the 1900s. The neighbourhood is popular with families due to its good schools, open space and village-style neighbourhoods.
