Corbeil-Essonnes (French: [kɔʁbɛj ɛsɔn] ⓘ) on the River Seine is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France.
Traces of human presence in the area date to the Palaeolithic and Neolithic ages; later it was a Gallo-Roman settlement on the main road from Paris to Sens.
The name Corbeil is derived from the Latin Corbulium, from the Gaulish cor beel, meaning "holy house".
Since the time of Aymon, comte de Corbeil (died 957), to the 12th century it was the chief town of a powerful county, which passed to Mauger, son of Richard I of Normandy.
Peter of Corbeil (died 1222) was the teacher of Lotario de' Conti, who became pope as Innocent III.
The 55 hectares (0.21 sq mi) site includes 25000 square meters of cleanrooms and a design center.
