Palaiseau

Tucked along the Yvette in the Hurepoix country south of Paris, Palaiseau is a town whose character is shaped by the river valley and its climb toward the Plateau de Saclay. Here, the Paris region shifts from dense suburban development to slopes, parks and major research campuses. The École polytechnique has been based on its Palaiseau campus since 1976, giving the town an important role within the Paris-Saclay scientific cluster. Older neighbourhoods around the centre and valley contrast with the broad plateau, where universities and laboratories have transformed the local economy.
