Orsay

Orsay is best known in Île-de-France for the Paris-Saclay University science campus. Set on the Yvette River in the northern Chevreuse Valley, the town combines a compact centre with university grounds that have made it an important address for research and higher education south of Paris. The campus developed from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Paris, established here in 1958, and today forms part of Université Paris-Saclay. RER B trains connect Orsay-Ville with central Paris, while the nearby Vallée de Chevreuse adds woodland and walking country to the wider setting.
