The municipalities are situated in the North/ Northeast of Paris.

Geothermal energy allows heating by drawing water whose temperature varies between 60 and 80 degrees C, exploiting the energy of the Dogger, located between 1,500 and 2,000 m deep. Renewable, carbon-free energy since the water thus drilled is then returned to the groundwater from which it comes. And, last but not least, geothermal energy reduces household energy bills estimated at 25%.
