Ville de Gentilly

What Ville de Gentilly does

Ville de Gentilly (legal name: Mairie de Gentilly) is a French commune located in the Val-de-Marne department in the Île-de-France region, operating as a public administrative entity within the Métropole du Grand Paris and the EPT12 Grand-Orly Seine Bièvre intercommunal establishment. The municipality provides the full range of statutory public services to its residents, including education (nine public schools with 2,344 enrolled students), early-childhood care, before- and after-school périscolaire services, school catering, youth programs (Point J leisure center for ages 11–17, Point Information Jeunesse for 16–25), employment support (delivered with Mission Locale INNOVAM, PLIE, and France Travail), health (Centre Municipal de Santé), social action (CCAS, Maison des Familles), culture (Médiathèque du Chaperon Vert, Maison Doisneau, Conservatoire intercommunal, Le Lavoir Numérique), housing and urban planning, and security/quality-of-life services. The commune operates the Cap sur Gentilly 2030 long-term urban-transition project covering housing, mobility, and schoolyard redesign.

The municipality's digital infrastructure is built on a Drupal CMS (ville-gentilly.fr) and includes the Espace Familles self-serve portal (espace-citoyens.net/gentilly) for family registrations, invoice payment, and request tracking, and the jeparticipe.gentilly.fr participatory-democracy platform launched in 2024. Seven neighborhood councils (Conseils de quartier), a Children's Municipal Council created in February 2023, a participatory budget, and a Fonds d'Initiative Citoyenne (up to €800 per micro-project) form the civic-engagement layer. Distribution is hybrid: the central Hôtel de Ville at 14 place Henri-Barbusse, plus six specialized offices (employment service, PIJ, Point J, Maison de l'Enfance, cultural service, DJVQ), supplemented by intercommunal delivery through EPT12 and Métropole du Grand Paris.

Revenue is public-sector and non-commercial. Funding comes from local taxes (property tax and other levies), state and departmental transfers (Département du Val-de-Marne, Région Île-de-France, national government), and sliding-scale service fees. The Taux de Participation Individualisé (TPI) ranges from 7.5% to 70% of full service cost depending on household income and composition; for example, périscolaire lunch care has a city cost of €9.85 (family pays €0.74–€6.90), and a full-day mercredi/vacances session has a city cost of €11.95 (family pays €0.90–€8.37). The municipality subsidizes the gap. No audited revenue, budget, or headcount figure is publicly disclosed in the input data.
