The Villa Cathala takes its name from its last owner before its purchase by the municipality in the year 2000: Charles Cathala, socialist senator of Seine-Saint-Denis from 1968 to 1977\\. The house was built under the Second Empire by a Parisian merchant to be a resort on the banks of the Marne. It quickly takes the name of Villa Le Lac, in reference to the large body of water that embellishes its park. From 1869 to 2000, several owners succeeded each other, including Émile Grodet, mayor of Noisy during the Great War. Today converted into the House of Arts and Associations, the Villa hosts exhibitions, cultural workshops, meetings with artists, etc. Its park houses an arboretum, a reserve to protect and make known the trees that are planted there. The year 2014 opening four years of commemoration of the war 14-18, this new edition of the European Heritage Days, is the occasion for the Villa to honor this important period of the history of France but also local.
