General Information About Montfermeil
Montfermeil is an eastern suburb of Paris in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, bordered by Clichy-sous-Bois, Coubron, Gagny, Chelles, and Courtry. Originally a small town about ten miles from the city, it was absorbed into the banlieue as Paris expanded. Like many of the eastern suburbs, Montfermeil has its bad neighborhoods, but the areas around the tourist spots are generally quite safe.
Tourist attractions include the Fontaine Jean Valjean, the Labor Museum, several historic mills around the city, many parks and green spaces, and nighttime "spectacles" at the Château des Cèdres meant to bring Montfermeil's history to life.
