Tremblay-en-France is a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 19.5 km. (12.1 miles) from the center of Paris.
More than one-quarter of Charles de Gaulle International Airport lies on the territory of the commune of Tremblay-en-France, in particular terminals 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D (the other terminals lie on the territory of other communes).
[edit] History
Originally called Tremblay-lès-Gonesse, the commune was officially renamed Tremblay-en-France (meaning "Tremblay in the pays de France", see Roissy-en-France for an explanation) on August 20, 1989.
[edit] Transport
The part of Charles de Gaulle International Airport that lies on the territory of the commune of Tremblay-en-France is served by two stations on Paris RER line B: Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 and Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 – TGV. This last station is an interchange station with TGV national rail lines.
The inhabited area of Tremblay-en-France, however, is served by Vert-Galant station on Paris RER line B. This station is located at the border between the commune of Tremblay-en-France and the commune of Villepinte, on the Villepinte side of the border.
