Mitry-Mory (French pronunciation: [mitʁi mɔʁi] ⓘ) is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France.
It is located in the north-eastern suburbs of Paris 24.4 km (15.2 mi) from the center just off the N2 national highway.
The construction of CDG caused the closure of the prewar Mitry-Mory airfield in the late 1960s.
From the air, the most prominent feature, aside from farmland, is the Great circle (or round-about) of Rue de la Garenne, a feature which forms a wagon wheel like structure with spokes forming a cross in which a crucifix building is surrounded by another inter-circle round-about.
Many of the streets and roads are named for famous people: Mozart, Guy-Lussac, Léon Foucault, Berlioz, Picasso, Gauguin among others — some of whom actually visited there.
