'''Seine-et-Marne''' ({{IPA|fr|sɛn e maʁn|-|Fr-Paris--Seine-et-Marne.ogg}}) is a [[Departments of France|department]] in the [[Île-de-France]] [[Regions of France|region]] in Northern [[France]]. Named after the rivers [[Seine]] and [[Marne (river)|Marne]], it is the region's largest department with an area of 5,915 square kilometres (2,284 square miles); it roughly covers its eastern half. In 2019, it had a population of 1,421,197.<ref name=pop2019>[https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/fichier/6011060/dep77.pdf Populations légales 2019: 77 Seine-et-Marne], INSEE</ref> Its [[Prefectures in France|prefecture]] is [[Melun]], although both [[Meaux]] and [[Chelles, Seine-et-Marne|Chelles]] have larger populations.

==History==
{{unreferencedsect|date=February 2024}}
{{section-stub|date=February 2024}}
Seine-et-Marne is one of the original 83 departments created on 4 March 1790 during the [[French Revolution]] in application of the law of 22 December 1789. It had previously belonged to the [[province of France|former province]] of [[Île-de-France]]. It is the only original departement in the Île-de-France that has remained unchanged, as both [[Seine (departement)|Seine]] and [[Seine-et-Oise]] were abolished and reorganised in 1968.

==Geography==
===Situation===
[[File:Hôtel préfecture Seine-et-Marne abbaye Saint-Père Melun.JPG|thumb|left|[[Prefectures in France|Prefecture]] building of the Seine-et-Marne department in [[Melun]]]]
Seine-et-Marne forms a part of the [[Île-de-France]] region; the department covers 49% of the region's land area. It is bordered by [[Val-d'Oise]], [[Seine-Saint-Denis]], [[Val-de-Marne]], [[Essonne]] to the west; [[Loiret]] and [[Yonne]] to the south; [[Aube]] and [[Marne (department)|Marne]] to the east; and [[Aisne]] and [[Oise]] to the north. It is served by [[RER A]], [[RER B]], [[RER D]] and [[RER E]] amongst other services.

[[Melun]] is Seine-et-Marne's [[Prefectures in France|prefecture]]. [[Fontainebleau]], [[Meaux]], [[Provins]] and [[Torcy, Seine-et-Marne|Torcy]] are its [[Subprefectures in France|subprefectures]]. The department comprises part of [[Paris]]'s outer eastern suburbs; much of [[Charles de Gaulle Airport]] sits within its far northwestern boundaries, including a majority of the terminals. The department has many natural reserves, notably [[Brie (region)|Brie]] and [[Gâtinais]]. The department's highest point is butte Saint-George (215 m).

===Principal towns===

The most populous commune is [[Meaux]]; the prefecture [[Melun]] is the third-most populous. As of 2019, there are 17 communes with more than 20,000 inhabitants. The 10 most populous communes are:<ref name=pop2019/>

Average temperature in [[Melun]] during the 1953–2002 period was {{convert|3.2|°C|°F}} for January and {{convert|18.6|°C|°F}} for July.

The [[Cyclone Lothar|storm of 26 December 1999]] led to five deaths in Seine-et-Marne and caused several trees to fall.

People from Seine-et-Marne are known as the ''Seine-et-Marnais''.

Originally Seine-et-Marne was very rural and lightly populated. Over the past 50 years, however, its population has tripled, due to the development of the Paris [[conurbation]] and the building of new towns in the northwest of the region. The population was estimated to be 1,267,496 inhabitants in 2006. The region has changed from consisting only of small villages to forming a large part of the Paris conurbation.

Seine-et-Marne as a whole shares a [[town twinning|sister city]] relationship with [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], [[Florida]], [[United States]], as both host [[Disney]] theme parks.

==Economy==
{{unreferencedsect|date=February 2024}}
With 60 percent of the region used as farmland, Seine-et-Marne is where most agricultural activity occurs within [[Île-de-France]]. Cereals and sugar beet are the principal exports from Seine-et-Marne.

The other key industrial structures are the refinery at Grandpuits and the [[Safran Aircraft Engines]] research plant at Villaroche. The new town of [[Marne-la-Vallée]] is the centre of tourism in Seine-et-Marne in terms of number of visitors, mainly due to the [[Disneyland Park (Paris)|Disneyland Park]] and [[Walt Disney Studios Park]] theme parks at [[Disneyland Paris]].
