Geography

Description

Sarcelles is a city of the northern suburbs of Paris, located at approximately 15 km of the capital. The agglomeration consists of two distinct parts: the Sarcelles old man, known as “Teal-village”, built at the edge of the Small Rosne and gathered around the church, and the great contemporary unit, first expression of the new cities, built in the years 1950 one kilometer more in the south. The city extends on 4,6 km from north in the south and 3,1 km of are in west.

The “village” consists of a continuous habitat low, mainly of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, intersected with more recent buildings. To north, an important suburban district extends, “Chardonnerettes”. At the East, is a great zone of activity along RN16, two small districts suburban (“Top of the King” and “the Mount of GIF”) as some cereal cultures which resist the urbanization. At the south, the district of Teals-Lochères is located, the new city of the Années 1950, consisted of turns and buildings of four floors. This district remains clearly separate remainder of the agglomeration, no coherent urban screen binding it to the other districts. A park and sports equipment separate both indeed. Nearly two hundred hectares are not built, which represents nearly 30% of the surface of the commune.

Sarcelles thus presents all the components of a urban landscape, making cohabit rural areas with suburban districts and an important zone of dense collective habitat.

The commune became a chief town of district of the Val-d'Oise since 2000, to replace Montmorency. It is also member of the Communauté of Val agglomeration of France since 1997.

The city is bordering on the communes on: Montmagny, Groslay, Saint-Brice-under-Forest, Écouen, Villiers-the-Beautiful, Arnouville-lès-Gonesse and Garges-lès-Gonesse in the department of the Val-d'Oise like Stains and Pierrefitte-sur-Seine in the department close to the Seine-Saint-Denis.

Sarcelles is divided into eight distinct districts (population 1999 /part of the total population of the city):

  • the great unit (in the south): 37.626 hab. (65%)

  • the village (with the mid-west): 7.723 hab. (13,4%)
  • Chantepie - the Rose trees (in the west): 5.265 hab. (9,1%)
  • Limekiln - Chardonnerettes (in the North-West): 5.124 hab. (8,9%)
  • the Mount-of-GIF - the High-of-King (in the east): 1.099 hab. (1,9%)
  • the Central Park (in the center): 652 hab. (1,1%)
  • the Sub-prefecture (with the mid-west): 243 hab. (0,4%)
  • Point 3/4 - Mureaux (in south-west): 136 hab. (0,2%)

Climatology

The climate in Sarcelles is characteristic of that of the Île-de-France, i.e. subjected to a oceanic Climat degraded characterized by a certain moderation. The localization of the commune within the Paris and its suburbs causes a very light rise in the temperature of one or two degrees according to the climatic conditions compared to the rural areas of Ile-de-France. This variation is particularly notable at daybreak in calm weather and anticyclonic, and the situation tends to be accentuated with the passing of years. The annual average temperature is of 11°C, the month more the cold is January with +4°C; the hottest months are July and August with +19°C (average day laborer). The median number of days when the temperature exceeds 25°C is of 40, including 8 beyond 30°C. In the south of the Val-d'Oise, since 1955, the annual intermediate duration of Ensoleillement is 1719 hours.

History

Heraldic

Origins

The name of the city would come from the Gallo-Roman anthroponyme Cercellus or perhaps from “Cercella”, quoted in 862: manufacture the cerceaux one for barrels.

The occupation of the site probably goes back to the Paléolithique, of the hunters-gatherers attending then the valley of the Petit Rosne. A human occupation is attested between the 1st century and the 5th century of our era by the discovery of a Roman hydropathic establishment to the locality “the Top of the King”.

Plundered by the Huns, the village finds a relative prosperity as from the 7th century, become the seigniory of the Abbaye of Saint-Denis. The existence of a village community is attested by the donation in 894 of a farm on the royal territory of Cercelles “ Ex fisco nostro Cercilla ” by the king Eudes Ier with Heriman, treasurer of the abbey of Saint-Denis. This one grants to him like seven families serfs and a mill on the river Rodonus , the Petit Rosne. At the 13th century, one finds the C-W communication Sarcella .

Vassal lords of the Montmorency organize essartage campaigns and cause the economic development of the village. During the War One hundred Year old, Sarcelles is occupied by the English of 1420 with 1436, then is destroyed by the Huguenot S in 1567 during their withdrawal after the battles of Saint-Denis. Property of Popincourt in the middle of the 15th century, it was the possession of Neufbourg and was set up in marquisat in 1629. The property passed in 1685 to the marquis d' Hautefort who founded a hospital there.

The village of the 18th century saw Viticulture and fruit trees. The enumeration of the election of Paris thirty-nine account fires in 1709; the universal dictionary published in 1726 announces mille-soixante inhabitants. In 1729, when the archbishop of Paris revokes the priest of Sarcelles, the author lampoonist Nicolas Jouin will write a continuation of harangues which had such a success that they gave rise to a literary Genre: the sarcellade , of the name of the village.

At the 19th century, Sarcelles, like many surrounding communes, saw primarily Viticulture. The Vigne occupies the near total of cultivable surface then. But following the epidemic of Phylloxéra of 1879 which decimated the vines, Sarcellois are reconverted into the vegetable Culture S with the whole beginning of the 20th century, in particular in the culture of the peas which required abundant a estival Labor, the “cueilleux ones”. During month of harvest (June-July), the population is multiplied by two passer by in 1902 for example of: 2380 with: 4800 inhabitants. Harvest was then dispatched towards the Halles of Paris by whole coaches by bags of 50 kg. The arboriculture is also important, the pear trees in particular, the orchards then extending on several communes from the flat from France and the Vallée from Montmorency after the conflict from 1870. In 1870 and 1871, the village is occupied by the Prussian which leaves it in ruins. During the year 1892, the village is victim of an epidemic of Choléra.

In the Years 1930, the vegetable culture is prevalent: on 350 hectares of cultivable grounds, 96 are occupied by the pea cultures, 65 by the cauliflower S. During the 20th century, Sarcelles loses little by little its rural character with the establishment of various industries: a Cotton nery, a foundry of Aluminum, a factory of synthetic rubies, another of Tile S, one of bricks, laces in wire of gold, or of fabrics. The activity of brick-maker was very present at Sarcelles of the French revolution at the end of the Second world war thanks to argillaceous nature of the basement. Two families dominated this activity locally: Censier lasting more than one century and Bastin.

The Great unit

But it is after the Second world war that the history of Sarcelles accelerates. In a national context of shortage of residences amplified by a very positive natural balance (“Baby-boom”) and in same time a massive Immigration but also the repatriation of French of Algeria of which a considerable part will settle in Sarcelles), a Grand unit, several tens of thousands of residences, called of first generation (characterized by town planning of long horizontal bars, without architectural research, along the rails established for the cranes of building site) will settle ex-nihilo in the middle of the fields of the village sarcelloise.

One owes the design of the city to the French architects Jacques Henri Labourdette and Roger Boileau, which has work between 1955 and 1975. On the whole, these are 12.368 residences which are thus built on behalf of the SCIC and its subsidiary companies, which undoubtedly makes of it vastest Grand unit of France. A long time symbol of the discomfort which would strike the great units (and would cause the “sarcellite”, term invented by a journalist of the Années 1950), it would seem today that the great whole of Sarcelles enjoys a relative success as regards ethnic co-education and urban violence, dissociating great degraded whole of the communes of French suburbs. This situation can be explained by the fact why Teals-Lochères developed until becoming a city, in particular by its broader integration in a whole including/understanding of the traditional districts and the zones of economic activities. This evolution remains however exceptional.

Important communities West-Indian, North-African, black-African and Jewish live today in Sarcelles; however, ethnic co-education comes up against its limits and the problems between communities are of increase.

After having celebrated in 2005 the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the district of Lochères, the municipality engages the restoration of the great unit, while starting with the district of Fine sands, the first built during the Années 1950.

Demography

Sarcelles experienced a very fast development which classifies it in the category of the mushroom towns : counting only approximately 8  000 inhabitants at the beginning of the Years 1950, it had 35  of it; 800 in 1962 and exceeded 50  000 before the end of the Years 1960, becoming the second plus big city of the Val-d'Oise behind Argenteuil. The city occupies the 78e national row as a population. Its Birth rate is of 20,29/1000 and its Death rate of 6,40/1000. Sarcelles is a young city: 34,9% of the population have less than 20 years, 42,4% less than 25 years and 13,6% have more than 60 years.

Immigration

Sarcelles counts an important immigrant population: on a total of: 57871 inhabitants in 1999: 9285 had been born abroad and from foreign nationality: 6282 were French of acquisition and: 3413 French of birth but had been born abroad or in the old French departments from Algeria. The city indeed counts one of most important the community of repatriates of Algeria.

If the share of the Algerians (14,7%) or the Morocco ains (11,8%) remains in conformity with the regional average (respectively 17,3% and 10,4%), that of the Tunisia NS is important with 15,5% in Sarcelles compared with 6,1% in the area. The share of the Turks is also very important: 12,4% compared with 2,6% in the area. The share of the other countries of birth is in conformity with the regional tendencies with 37,8%, essentially of country of sub-Saharan Africa.

Housing

Sarcelles counted: 18048 main homes in 1999 on a total of: 19419 residences. The park Immobilier sarcellois has a specificity compared to the average of the area: in 1999, only 3,1% of the main homes dated from 1990 or afterwards against 9,1% in Île-de-France. In the same way, constructions former to 1949 accounted for only 6,2% of the park compared with 33,7% for the regional average francilienne.

Sarcelles has few buildings old, all gathered in the village, and built little today, because subjected to the plan of noise exposure of the Aéroport Roissy-Charles-of-Gaulle which limits construction drastiquement. The essence of the park dates from the years 1955 with 1970: not less than 78,1% of the residences between 1949 and 1974 were built. This characteristic causes a real problem of town planning and financing: all the park having appreciably the same age, all is also to rehabilitate at the same time.

84,4% of the residences are main homes, distributed with 16,4% in houses and 83,6% in apartments (respectively 26,9% and 73,1% in the area). Only 33,0% of the inhabitants are owners of their housing, against 64,8% which are only tenants (respectively 44,3% and 51,1% in the area).

With: 9505 residences of the type HLM is 52,7% of the park in 1999 (23,4% in the area), the city largely respects the provisions of article 55 of the law solidarity and urban renewal (SRU) of December 2000 fixing at 20% the minimum rate of social housing for the most important communes.

The size of the households is much more important than in the area: the city counts to only 21,4% people living alone against 34,6% in the area, on the other hand the important families account for 11,0% of the population compared with 2,8% in the area. The median number of people by housing is important: 3,2 people on average against 2,4 in Ile-de-France. The situation is explained by a high share of populations of immigrant origin with the very many families.

The majority of the dwellings have 4 parts or more (57,9% against 41,4% on average regional); the small residences remain minority: only 2,1% of residences of a part against 11,8% in the area.

The city has consequently residences moreover large surface that the average francilienne inhabited by large families, but a very significant part of these residences are of type HLM, which supports the ghettoisation of the commune.

Administration

The city is a chief town of district of the Val-d'Oise since the year 2000. The sub-prefecture moved in Sarcelles four years later, in April 2004. It is by the impulse of Jean-Pierre Chevènement, then its adviser and Minister of Interior Department, Jean-Yves Autexier (Mayor-assistant of Sarcelles of Henri Canacos, PCF mayor until in 1982) that the removal of the Sous-préfecture was possible. This first since the Release thus corrects a “error” of the history dating from the creation of the department of the Val-d'Oise. The decree No 2000-186 bearing transfer of the chief town of the district of Montmorency to Sarcelles (Val-d'Oise) was signed on March 3rd 2000 by Lionel Jospin, Jean-Pierre Chevènement and Christian Sautter.
