• Location:

• The Common Saint-Mammès is located in the south of the Seine-et-Marne, at the confluence of the Seine and Loing. At only seventy miles above Paris, it is the meeting point of all waterways across central and eastern France.
• Saint-Mammès belongs to the canton of Moret-sur-Loing in the district of Fontainebleau, and adheres to the Community of Communes Moret Seine et Loing (CCMSL). Saint-Mammès has 3298 inhabitants and an area of 224 acres (a density of 1 377 inhabitants per km ²) and rivers occupy approximately 30 ha and 50 ha woodland.
• In terms of transport, Saint-Mammès is particularly well served. She enjoys a good road (near the A6 motorway, the A5 and N6) and, with its railway station, allows users to have easy access to the rest of the network of public transport in the Paris .
• On the scale of the Ile-de-France, Saint-Mammès is part of a tourism industry where the most interesting nature and heritage are a real presence, an area centered on Fontainebleau and bounded on the north by Vaux-le-Vicomte to the east by Montereau-Fault-Yonne and Provins, south by Nemours and the west by Milly-la-Foret.

• History:

• Despite its small area, Saint-Mammès no shortage of advantages: a geographical location and exceptional landscaping, an ancient and authentic, an urban pleasant and strong identity.
• Located on the banks of two rivers, and probably fishing village originally, the town has always derived its existence from the water and mixed his fate to the River. For example, between the mid 19th century and the late twentieth, it was the "capital" of the inland waterway upstream from Paris. This privileged geographic position explains in part the specificity of the current village - that of being "a village of watermen" - and offered him the opportunity to play an early role in the history of the navy interior.
• Technological developments have marked the life of the skippers of the corollary to that town, who has known all modes of navigation: the descent of rivers at the option of running, hauling feed, mechanical traction, towing steam The engine and towing boats, but also all kinds of skippers: Skippers séquanaise under the Ancien Regime, the Loire region Skippers, Skippers Center, the North and finally the arrival of all of Europe . The boatmen have always appreciated the charms of Saint-Mammès, making it still a "Land of boatmen" par excellence. Hameau de Moret-sur-Loing to the Revolution, which probably explains the smallness of its territory, Saint-Mammès focuses around a Benedictine priory of the 11th century, which survives today as the chapel. In 1719, the Duke of Orleans launched major work for the digging of the Canal du Loing. With its commissioning in 1726, the village experienced a great economic expansion. Later, the further development of industrial activities assured Skippers and Saint-Mammès a period of great prosperity.
• Gradually the sailors have chosen to make Saint-Mammès their homes and lives. They then cultured in small gardens in additional contribution to their business inland waterway. Therefore the town now has an urban structure very special. Indeed, for the sake of saving space very measured - the territory of 224 ha only - the streets are reduced to narrow alleys that wind from court to court and garden to garden. This plot, very original, is across the confined space which satisfies the sailors on their boats. The gardens are naturally the same scale.
• The small waterway through regular periods difficult. While the sailors were sailors on Saint-Mammès over a hundred there for another twenty years, none has more than fifty today. There is also a decrease in the number of inland water craft available to mariners. The liberalization of the freight market has increased the river slump in the Skippers in 2000, despite the creation of "charter grants" private involving all the sailors. However, the wider plan of inland water in large convoys, tonnage hauled him is steadily increasing. Its economy is closely linked to fluctuations of the waterway, Saint-Mammès suffer from these recurring crises of the "small" Skippers. It has therefore also facing the marina, with the inauguration in 2000 to halt river community. Fortunately, Saint-Mammès still like a number of sailors who chose to disembark. Thus, in order to revitalize its local economy and keep alive the strong heritage boatman, the common Saint-Mammès wanted from the 1990s to engage in substantial development work and improving quality of life.
