Bry-sur-Marne (French pronunciation: [bʁi syʁ maʁn] ⓘ, literally Bry on Marne) is a commune in the Val-de-Marne department in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France.
In 1982, the skeleton of a woman who died in the 5th century BC was uncovered beneath the playground of a school in Bry.
The first known written mention of the town named Bry was in a charter signed by King Charles the Bald in 861.
In 1404, Robert de Châtillon, cousin of King Charles VI, was Bry's feudal lord.
