🇬🇧 English

This decree expands the protected landscape area of Châtenay Hill in Fontenay-en-Parisis, in France’s Val-d'Oise department. It adds about 343 hectares to the classified site, which means land use, development, and changes to the landscape in the listed parcels will face stronger protection rules. It affects local authorities, landowners, developers, associations, and anyone planning work on the covered parcels. The earlier 1972 listing is partly отменed for the newly classified area, and the decree takes effect the day after publication, so businesses and property owners should check the parcel maps before starting any project.
