Population
Inhabitants of Saint-Mammès are called ''Mammèsiens'' in French.
Climate and geology
Like the rest of Ile de France, Saint Mammès has an oceanic climate. The oceanic temperatures extend into the mainland and result in an average temperature of 64 °F in the summer and 43 °F in the winter, with frequent rain during all seasons and varying temperatures but with weaker rains than the coasts, as well as some points of influence from continental weather at the height of the seasons.
The borders of the community span about 603 acres; the altitude varies between 42 and 87 meters.
Transport
Saint-Mammès is served by one station on the
Transilien Paris-Lyon rail line that ends at
Montereau via the
Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons station in Zone 5 for Navigo cards.
The city is also served by the Comète bus (lines 3-6-8) that is mainly used by students who live in the nearby communities.
Urban planning
It is predominantly suburban housing, the town having few larger sets. The type of habitation varies between the different quarters. The city center is characterized by small homes with no more than two floors, situated close together and framed by small streets.
The commercial and business zones are, for the most part, concentrated near the docks of the Seine.
The city does not have officially designated zones.
