Starting from the church of St Christophe and the street of General Leclerc, the guided tour by Sabrina Kara, architect at the Council of architecture, urbanism and environment 94 invites you to discover the old center of Créteil and its evolution until the 1930s. From the construction of schools, baths-showers, then the hospital and the urbanization of the banks of the Marne, the visit will allow to evoke the life of the Cristoliens at the beginning of the 20th century and the architectural specificities of the buildings encountered.
