Courances, Administrative commune in Essonne, France

Courances is a small commune in the Île-de-France region that spreads across gentle rolling terrain shaped by forests and farmland. The place retains its rural character with scattered houses and quiet roads that define a typical French village community.

The commune was long part of Seine-et-Oise before becoming part of the newly created Essonne department in 1968. This administrative change marked a significant shift in the region's governance structure.

The residents of Courances, known as Courançois and Courançoises, maintain local traditions through participation in the Communauté de communes des Deux Vallées activities.

The location sits about 50 km south of Paris and is accessible by car or public transport. When exploring the area, visitors should know that rural roads connect smaller villages, and services are more limited than in urban centers.

The commune maintains a population density of 40 inhabitants per square kilometer, with 336 residents recorded in 2022, creating a regulated residential environment.
