On the occasion of All Saints holidays, we invite you to discover Goussainville and its village, almost ghost. The operation continues for Christmas holidays. So go ahead and discover this astonishing place between abandoned buildings and neighborhood life with the splendid Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul church or the astonishing Goussainlivres bookstore !
Last summer the Île-de-France Regional Tourism Committee had launched the "1 free guided tours" operation. This measure was intended to support tour guides hard hit by the health crisis. Thereby, the Grand Roissy Tourist Office had offered 16 tours spread over the cities of Goussainville and Écouen. This operation had been repeated for the All Saints holidays. You will now be able to enjoy it before celebrating the end of the year holidays as it should.
Come and discover the unexpected twist of the " ghost village ”of the old country of Goussainville, not so ghostly ... Your guide will tell you about the events that disturbed the tranquility of the place, with the construction of Roissy airport in the 70s. It is in this atmosphere that you will discover through your walk, this village and its listed church, as if frozen in time. You will then find yourself "In Paradise" and; if the opportunity arises; facing the impressive collection of books (between 80 and 100) by Mr Mahieux, the bookseller of GoussainBooks 25 over years.
