The “Leclaire”site is composed of a former quarry (2.25 hectares) and an adjacent lot (0.7 hectares), to which a conservatory is currently being relocated. Located on the border of Clichy-sous-Bois, it has many assets: a hillside location making it possible to create views of Greater Paris, a green setting, integration within a coherent and attractive residential area, along a main route leading to RN3 road and the future Greater Paris Express station. The City is seeking to continue recent urban development projects and welcome an innovative project strengthening the appeal of this area.

Urban context / existing buildings

This site is located in the north of Clichy-sous-Bois, across from the municipality of Livry-Gargan. For 15 years now, Clichy-sous-Bois has been experiencing profound changes through ongoing urban renewal projects (1st and 2nd generation), resulting in a complete transformation of the large housing complexes built in the 1960s. A former gypsum quarry, the site is surrounded by land occupied by services and facilities. Vegetation is very present here: Le Chemin des Postes is lined with trees; a view of the greenery of Parc Vincent Auriol, and the site itself is a brownfield where nature has now taken over. It is neighboured by residential areas and communal gardens. The plot slopes gently toward the north and the west, providing expansive views of the great scenery of the eastern and northern Greater Paris area.
The site is served by the RER B at the Sevran-Livry station located at a distance of about 2 km. Several bus lines provide services throught the east of Greater Paris with the 147 line in particular (Sevran-Pantin), which serves the RER B station and the city-centres of Livry-Gargan, Sevran, and Pavillons-sous-Bois; as well as lines 100 (Chelles-Roissy), 613 (Aulnay-Chelles) and 347 (Pont de Bondy-Montfermeil).
The site is located within proximity to the area's two major roads, RN3 (greater east-west axis) and N370 (the only large north-south road linking Sevran and Marne la Vallée).
The extension of the T4 tramway from Gargan to Montfermeil in 2018, followed by the arrival of line 16 of the Greater Paris Express network in 2024, combined with the launch of the Médicis "Clichy Montfermeil" project, will provide help boost this entire area's urban development.
