'Saint Denis Island') is a French commune in the northern suburbs of Paris, Île-de-France.
This station is located in the neighboring commune of Saint-Denis, 0.4 km (0.25 mi) from the town center of l'Île-Saint-Denis.
Since the 1960s l'Île-Saint-Denis has housed immigrants, mostly from North African countries.
Nadir Dendoune, a local author, said that l'Île-Saint-Denis had racial and ethnic diversity in the 1980s, as the neighborhood housed various groups of poor people, including Arabs, Black people, ethnic French, and other Europeans, and that at that time half of the students in area schools were White.
[7] Collège Alfred Sisley, a junior high school, is on the island.
