The town of Maisons-Alfort proudly learned, at the start of this 2026 season, of the renewal of its « 4th Flower » label by the jury of the National Council of Flowered Towns and Villages (CNVVF). This award, held for 25 years, attests to the excellence of its constant commitment to greenery and quality of life.
This year, Maisons-Alfort particularly stands out as one of the 12 French municipalities to receive a special national prize: that for participatory gardening and sustainable food. This distinction recognizes its « remarkable educational and pedagogical actions with young people » and those aimed at « strengthening social ties through plants ».
This recognition highlights the municipality's commitment to further involving residents through various citizen initiatives, such as the Maison de l’Environnement (Environment House), the Plan 1 000 arbres (1,000 Trees Plan), Répare Objet (Object Repair), an eco-citizen project, the Conseil des jeunes pour l’environnement (Youth Council for the Environment), and plant distribution. The goal is also to develop short supply chains.
These two distinctions honor the long-standing work carried out by previous mayors, Michel HERBILLON, Olivier CAPITANIO, Marie France PARRAIN, alongside the municipality. They encourage continued efforts to make Maisons-Alfort a pleasant place to live.
