Coubron and its Coubronnais have primary concern for the conservation of their nature parks which makes it beautifully green.
Its name comes from "courtberon" or "courtbron" for courtil, the garden, and Breo (nis), the name of a farmer. With its 183 acres of woods and forests and ninety-two acres of agricultural land (check out the Nothern Paris's agricultural areas), Coubron cultivates a rural nature highly appreciated by its inhabitants. This village consists mostly of individual properties, and some proximity shops which shape its town center. The concern to preserve its natural heritage is the underlying factor with which all Coubronnais are in agreement; it explains how the whole city continues to invest in the struggle to save Bois de Bernouille which is threatened by opencast gypsum. After many meetings, the decision to preserve the wood permanently is taken, all operations on it will be “sheltered”.
