Pagode Chanraingsey
On May 11, 2025, for the Vesak festival, the ABKKK invited the city to the laying of the first stone of the future Pagode Chanraingsey in the Vieux-Pays district of Tremblay-en-France. Mayor François Asensi and other city officials attended. (Tremblay Magazine No. 9 (June 2025))
A pagoda of the same name was already active in Tremblay-en-France at the time. Its head monk, Ten Chenda, was among the Buddhist representatives thanked at the inauguration of the KH50 memorial to the victims of Pol Pot in Lognes on April 17, 2025, and on June 22, 2025 the pagoda hosted a Buddhist ceremony of remembrance that drew nearly 100 participants.
