With 455 hectares of natural spaces, including 97 hectares of classified wooded areas, Coupvray stands as a green lung in the Val d’Europe. For the past decade, the municipality has been working to integrate nourishing zones into its natural areas. This initiative aims to restore Coupvray's agricultural past, sustainably develop the territory by giving nature its due, offer quality local food supplies to residents, and create educational spaces that foster social connection and solidarity.
The town has recreated historical orchards, including one in the Parc du Château, designed in the 17th century, and the orchard at the town entrance on rue Saint-Denis. These areas are freely accessible for picking, supporting educational, social, and solidarity actions. The dedicated spaces include the Verger du Château (1,537 m²), Verger Fosse Saint-Etienne (1,334 m²), Verger des Tamaris (270 m²), Potager de l’école (350 m², with restricted access), Verger rue Saint-Denis (5,000 m²), and the Forêt gourmande (1,000m², inaugurated in 2025).
After achieving two flowers in the « Villes et Villages Fleuris » label, Coupvray is now a candidate for its third flower. This ambitious challenge relies on the talent of the Mairie's technical services. Beautification is seen as a way to respect residents by offering them a quality living environment and to mitigate the impact of heatwaves. To conserve water and human resources, annual flower beds have been gradually replaced by perennial or shrubby plants, designed to ensure four-season blooming with the annual planting of numerous bulbs in spring and autumn. Since 2020, flower beds have been systematically added near rehabilitated roadways.
