Facing the strong gusts of wind announced by Météo-France, the town hall of Aulnay-sous-Bois, in Seine-Saint-Denis (93), has decided to close all of its municipal parks and cemeteries to the public on this Wednesday, March 25, 2026. A precautionary measure taken in the interest of the safety of all residents.
During periods of strong winds, leafy spaces pose non-negligible risks: falling branches, entire trees, or objects swept up by gusts. Municipal parks, squares, and cemeteries—often densely planted—are especially vulnerable. Closing these areas helps prevent any accidents that could occur on public roads or during a visit. This measure, adopted by many Île-de-France towns during weather alerts, serves as a reminder that residents’ safety remains the top priority.
Caution is advised for all travel today. It is recommended to avoid parking under trees, steer clear of scaffolding and work zones, and watch for objects that could be blown onto terraces or balconies. Drivers are urged to slow down, particularly on exposed roadways. All official guidance is available at vigilance.meteofrance.fr, to be checked regularly for updates on the situation.
The reopening of the parks and cemeteries of Aulnay-sous-Bois will take effect as soon as the weather conditions allow and after municipal teams have verified there is no danger. To stay informed in real time, you can follow the official updates from the Aulnay-sous-Bois town hall.
Other municipalities in Seine-Saint-Denis may take similar measures during episodes of strong winds. For residents of the Paris region, it’s wise to keep an eye on current alerts via Météo-France and to check the official accounts of the relevant town halls. The Île-de-France regional nature parks can also impose access restrictions in such situations.
This temporary closure is, of course, aimed at all Aulnay-sous-Bois residents who had planned a stroll or a visit to the cemetery this Wednesday: it’s best to postpone the outing until tomorrow and stay warm. For those who love a good Seine-Saint-Denis walk on a sunny day, note that the Parc de la Poudrerie in Sevran, just nearby, or the Parc départemental du Sausset are well worth a detour as soon as the skies clear.
