L'Île-Saint-Denis (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Literally) is a French commune in the northern suburbs of Paris, Île-de-France. It is located Template:Convert from the centre of Paris.

The commune is entirely contained on an island of the Seine, hence its name.

Along with the communes of Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, L'Île-Saint-Denis formed the Olympic Village of the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1] This allowed 85% of athletes to be 30 minutes from their competition venues.

Demographics

The island is the result of the joining of several smaller islands (which helps explain its current length): L’île Saint-Denis, l’île Saint-Ouen, l’île des Vannes[2] and l'île du Châtelier.

Since the 1960s l'Île-Saint-Denis has housed immigrants, mostly from North African countries. Nadir Dendoune, a local author, said that l'Île-Saint-Denis had racial and ethnic diversity in the 1980s, as the neighborhood housed various groups of poor people, including Arabs, Black people, ethnic French, and other Europeans, and that at that time half of the students in area schools were White. In 2005, according to Dendoune, few of the students were White.[3]
