Lucarne d'Évry

Lucarne d'Évry, Urban window in Les Pyramides district, Évry-Courcouronnes, France.

Lucarne d'Évry is the name given to a small window of a rubbish room at 24 Rue Jules-Vallès, in the Pyramides district of Évry-Courcouronnes, Essonne. The tan wall holds a white-framed square opening with a projecting sill, a metallic intercom panel and a glass door to its left, and the number 24 mounted between the intercom and the window.

The window became known starting in 2019 when local residents began sharing videos of their attempts to kick footballs through it. The challenge gained attention through social media and grew into a recognized activity.

The window has become a symbol of football skill that draws people wanting to test their shooting abilities. The location functions as a gathering point in the local community where football enthusiasts come together to attempt the same challenge.

Visit during quieter times of day when traffic is lighter for safer attempts. The location is easy to reach on foot and requires only a clear view from across the street.

The window appears in the music video for the official song of the French football team for Euro 2020, not the national anthem, and in an Adidas advert starring Lionel Messi. Former Morocco international Mehdi Benatia and ex-PSG player Nenê both came to try the shot; Nenê scored on 8 December 2021.
