Climate and geology

edit

Like the rest of Ile de France, Saint Mammès has an oceanic climate. The oceanic temperatures extend into the mainland and result in an average temperature of 64 °F in the summer and 43 °F in the winter, with frequent rain during all seasons and varying temperatures but with weaker rains than the coasts, as well as some points of influence from continental weather at the height of the seasons.

The borders of the community span about 603 acres; the altitude varies between 42 and 87 meters.[4]

Transport

edit

Saint-Mammès is served by one station on the Transilien Paris-Lyon rail line that ends at Montereau via the Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons station in Zone 5 for Navigo cards.[5]

The city is also served by the Comète bus (lines 3-6-8) that is mainly used by students who live in the nearby communities.

Urban planning

edit

It is predominantly suburban housing, the town having few larger sets. The type of habitation varies between the different quarters. The city center is characterized by small homes with no more than two floors, situated close together and framed by small streets.

The commercial and business zones are, for the most part, concentrated near the docks of the Seine.

The city does not have officially designated zones.[6] Nevertheless you can distinguish some areas: the place of the Bulge and the Seine in the northwest, the Palottes in the west, the Guettes and Berville residences, situated respectively in the outskirts of the city and next to the train station, the Trop Chères area in the north, the city center, and the commercial zones as well as the suburban districts like the Sablonnières, Monthièvres, Roberies, Longues Raies, and Fonds.
