Sarcelles is a commune in the northern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 16.3 km from the center of Paris. Sarcelles is a sub-prefecture of the Val-d'Oise department and the seat of the Arrondissement of Sarcelles. The population is around 59,000. It is on the North line out of Paris and is only 13 minutes from Gare du Nord.
In the south of the commune, during the 1950s and 1960s, HLMs were built in order to accommodate pieds-noirs (that is French settlers from Algeria) and Jews, who left Algeria due to the Algerian War of Independence. A few Jews from Egypt settled there after the Suez crisis, and Jews from Tunisia and Morocco settled in Sarcelles after unrest and riots against Jews due to the Six-Day War and to the Yom Kippur War. There are many Jews who want to move away from Sarcelles often to Israel. The Jewish population is about 15,000 (2014) about 15% of the overall population.
