History

With the construction of a toll bridge over the Marne, Isles-lès-Villenoy became an important transit point in 1839. In the 19th century, the rise of houses for holiday stays turned Isles-lès-Villenoy into a holiday destination. Pont sur la Marne was protected by decree of 6 May 1965. As a structure, Pont sur la Marne extends across several municipalities, including Isles-lès-Villenoy.

The historical perspective therefore encompasses the transport function, holiday stays and the subsequently protected Pont sur la Marne. These aspects represent different periods and roles of the town: the crossing over the Marne, its development into a holiday destination and a structure extending across several municipalities.
