Brétigny-sur-Orge, Administrative commune in Essonne, France.

Located in the southern suburbs of Paris, Brétigny-sur-Orge extends across 1,456 hectares and accommodates over 27,000 residents called Brétignolais.

The settlement, recorded as Britiniacum in 1146, derives its name from Latin meaning 'property of the Breton' and belonged to Merovingian kings.

The municipality maintains strong community bonds through regular local events and gatherings at the town hall, located at 44 rue de la Mairie.

The Brétigny station on Paris RER line C connects residents to the capital, while the town provides comprehensive administrative services for the region.

In 2013, the town experienced a significant railway incident that led to enhanced safety measures across the French rail network.
