Ris-Orangis

Ris-Orangis is a suburban commune in Essonne, located southeast of Paris along the Seine River. The area features residential neighborhoods, local shops, and green spaces that define daily life.

Two original settlements, Ris and Orangis, were administratively merged in 1793. This fusion shaped the commune's structure and subsequent development.

The name reflects the merger of two historic settlements, a division still visible in how the community is organized today. Both parts maintain their own local character, shaping how residents experience the place.

The area is served by three railway stations connected to the Paris RER line D, offering direct access to the city center. This accessibility makes it easy to explore the commune or reach central Paris quickly.

An 18th-century château, the Château de Trousseau, stands as the sole recognized monument in the area. This building reflects the architectural heritage and hints at the place's former importance.
