Noisy-le-Grand (French pronunciation:[nwaziləɡʁɑ̃]ⓘ) is acommune in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 15.2 km (9.4 mi) from thecentre of Paris. The commune of Noisy-le-Grand is part of the sector of Porte de Paris, one of the four sectors of the "new town" ofMarne-la-Vallée.
The name Noisy comes fromMedieval Latinnucetum, meaning "walnut grove", after the walnut trees (French:noyers) covering the territory of Noisy-le-Grand in ancient times.
Theepithet "le-Grand" (Medieval Latin:Magnum), meaning "the Great", was added in theMiddle Ages, probably to distinguish Noisy-le-Grand from the smaller settlement ofNoisy-le-Sec, which was sometimes referred to asNucenum Minus ("Noisy the Small").
Like many otherSeine-Saint-Denis cities, the commune is very cosmopolitan, home of many communities, with many of its locals coming from various continents and countries. It has a large African population, mostly fromsub-Saharan countries (Senegal,Mali,Ivory Coast and many others) and East Asian countries, such as China,Vietnam andCambodia. The city also includes significant, but less numerous, communities from Portugal and North African countries likeMorocco andAlgeria. Recently, the department, and the Parisian suburbs in general, has seen a new wave of immigration coming from Eastern Europe. Noisy-le-Grand now has communities from formerEastern Bloc countries likeRomania,Bulgaria and Russia.
As of 1998 there were 2,700 East Asians in Noisy le Grand, making up about 5-6% of the city; many of them lived in the same complexes occupied by Africans and other foreigners, and Asians were widely distributed around the commune.[4]

Previously Star Airlines (nowXL Airways France) had its headquarters in the Immeuble Horizon building in the commune.[8] Cédric Pastrour, the founder of the airline, said that the company chose the Noisy site because the airline did not yet know which airport,Charles de Gaulle Airport orOrly Airport, would serve as the airline's base, and that the Noisy site was equidistant to both airports. Pastour added that the Noisy site had access to theA4 and theA86 autoroutes and was close to theFrancilienne, and that the costs in the Noisy area were lower than the costs in the airport area.[9]

"ce transporteur aérien a choisi de s'installer à Noisy-le-Grand, l'un des pôles en développement de la Seine-Saint-Denis, dans le périmètre de la ville nouvelle de Marne-la-Vallée. « Nous nous sommes implantés là car nous ne savions pas encore de quel aéroport _ Orly ou Roissy _ décolleraient nos avions. Or Noisy-le-Grand est à égale distance des deux sites et bénéficie d'un noeud autoroutier : l'A4, l'A86, la Francilienne pas loin. Et le coût y est moindre que dans une zone aéroportuaire », confie Cédric Pastour, le PDG, ancien directeur général adjoint d'Air Liberté au côté de Lotfi Belhassine.
