Tremblay-en-France

Tremblay-en-France (French pronunciation: [tʁɑ̃blɛ ɑ̃ fʁɑ̃s] , lit.'Tremblay-in-France'; before 1989: Tremblay-lès-Gonesse, lit.'Tremblay-near-Gonesse') or simply Tremblay is a commune in the northeastern outer suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 19.5 km (12.1 mi) from the centre of Paris, in the Pays de France.

More than one-quarter of Charles de Gaulle Airport lies within the territory of the commune, in particular terminals 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D (the other terminals lie in the territory of other communes). It is the largest, by area, of the so-called petite couronne (inner ring) suburbs of Paris. The corporate head office of Air France and OEMServices lie within Tremblay-en-France.

The name Tremblay derives from the Latin Tremuletum, meaning the 'place of aspen trees'.

The Church of Saint-Médard in Tremblay-en-France is from the 16th century.

Originally called Tremblay-lès-Gonesse (meaning "Tremblay near Gonesse"), the commune was officially renamed Tremblay-en-France (meaning "Tremblay in the pays de France") on 20 August 1989. The modern-day Hôtel de Ville was completed in January 1981.

The part of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport that lies within the territory of the commune of Tremblay-en-France is served by two stations on Paris's Réseau Express Régional (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, also on RER 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.
