Palaiseau is a sub-prefecture south of Paris. The suburb is a former royal estate about 16.9 kilometers (10.5 miles) from the city center. Today, Palaiseau is known as the location of ParisTech, of which École Polytechnique, the most prestigious school of engineering in France, is a member institution. One of the architectural attractions in this commune is the Église Saint-Martin de Palaiseau, a Romanesque church from the 12th century. Museums, forts, castles, and several mansions also define the cultural heritage of this town in Île-de-France. Find the time to visit these landmarks for an enriching cultural experience. Meanwhile, the beauty of the Chevreuse Valley is best appreciated by walking the parks and trails in the area.
