Essonne is a department in the north of France and was founded in 1968. The name of the department comes from the main river that crosses the department: 'Essonne'. The department consists of three different districts, namely Étampes, Évry and Palaiseau. The department of Essonne is located in the Ile-de-France region, covers an area of about 18 hundred square kilometers and has over 1.2 million inhabitants.

The forest of Sénart

This nature reserve of 3500 hectares is very important for the local population. The area has been protected several times against felling by the local authorities. No less than three million visitors come to this forest on an annual basis. The special thing about this forest is that it is almost completely built into the urbanisation. 

Special birds in Essonne

In the department, the birdwatcher can indulge himself. There are many special bird species in this part of France. During the migration period (April-May and September-August) you have a good chance of observing the turn-neck. In the breeding season you can spot a grey harrier and the mountain warbler. Very early in the spring in early March is the best chance to see the rare greyheaded woodpecker.
