Courcouronnes

Courcouronnes (French pronunciation: [kuʁkuʁɔn] ⓘ) is a former commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France.

[2] It is located 26.4 km (16.4 mi) from the centre of Paris, in the "new town" of Évry Ville Nouvelle, created in the 1960s.

A 19th century aqueduct, which brings drinking water from the rivers Vanne and Loing to the city of Paris, crosses the outskirts of Courcouronnes.

It is home to the famous "Dame du Lac" climbing wall constructed by architect Pierre Skelezy in 1975.

The wall was made famous by its appearance in television broadcasts about the sport of Parkour, which was developed in Lisses and Évry-Courcouronnes by David Belle.
