Within 20 km radius of the capital. The SDRIF-E is a road map of the region for the development of its region till 2040 and a public inquiry was under way till March 16.

Joinville track rejected, Saint-Germain-en-Laye mayor not interested

According to France Blue Paris, the Île-de-France region has already received a dozen spontaneous applications from interested cities. Municipalities are located almost everywhere in Île-de-France and all have “qualities”, said a source consulted by radio. While several municipalities have publicly expressed their desire to host a future PSG stadium, no suitors have emerged for the moment, according to Le Parisien.

Montigny-le-Bretonneux (Yvelines), Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis) and Gonesse (Val-d’Oise), for example, are among the towns of interest. The Joinville-le-Pont track (Val-de-Marne) was rejected according to the regional daily because it would not meet the specifications when the mayor of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Arnaud Pericard, learned that it was not of interest to his city. There are not enough transport options in his view. An elected official would also fear a traffic nuisance for its residents.
