Palaiseau, a Green Town Between City and Campus

Palaiseau benefits from an exceptional living environment between nature and innovation: the town is adjacent to the Saclay plateau, a major center for French scientific research with École Polytechnique and numerous laboratories. This dynamic and cultured city atmosphere is reflected in the quality and diversity of the events offered at the Christmas market.
