Élancourt, Administrative commune in Yvelines, France
Élancourt is a commune in Yvelines west of Paris that spans multiple neighborhoods and residential areas. The town combines housing districts with local services and is accessible via the nearby La Verrière railway station.
The commune was part of the Seine-et-Oise department until 1968, when it became part of the newly created Yvelines department. This administrative shift reflected broader changes happening across the Paris region at that time.
The town hosts regular concerts and cultural events that bring neighbors together and shape community life. Various local associations and groups give residents opportunities to share interests and build connections with one another.
Visitors can access municipal information through the town's online citizen portal or visit local offices directly for assistance. The best time to explore is during weekends and off-peak hours when public spaces feel less crowded.
The Colline d'Élancourt is an artificial hill built from landfill that stands as the highest point in the Île-de-France region. This location hosted Olympic mountain biking events in 2024 and has since drawn sports enthusiasts to experience the site.
