Le Raincy (French pronunciation: [lə ʁɛ̃si] ) is a prestigious commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 13.2 km (8.2 mi) from the center of Paris. Le Raincy is a subprefecture of the Seine-Saint-Denis department and the seat of the Arrondissement of Le Raincy.
Its population is small relative to surrounding communes, just under 15,000. However, its development as an administrative centre, along with the establishment over the years of several schools, gives it more prominence than its population size would suggest.
Its character has made it known as le Neuilly de la Seine-Saint-Denis.[3]
