Savigny-sur-Orge
Savigny-sur-Orge (French pronunciation: [saviɲi syʁ ɔʁʒ] ⓘ; lit. 'Savigny-on-Orge') or simply Savigny is a commune in the southern outer suburbs of Paris, France. It is located in the Essonne department, 19.1 km (11.9 mi) from the centre of Paris.
It is home to a renowned high school, the Lycée Jean-Baptiste Corot – Le Château, comprising a 15th-century château, which was the property of Louis-Nicolas Davout, Duke of Auerstaedt, Prince of Eckmühl, a marshal of France under Napoleon. Davout served as mayor, and the city's main square bears his name.
Inhabitants of Savigny-sur-Orge are known as Saviniens (masculine) and Saviniennes (feminine) in French. Writer Patrick Erouart-Siad (born 1955 in Savigny) won the 1993 Prix Ève Delacroix of the Académie Française. During the 2005 civil unrest, Savigny-sur-Orge was the first city to implement a curfew.
The name Savigny derives from the Latin Sabiniacum, meaning the 'estate of Sabinius', a Gallo-Roman landowner.
The Hôtel de Ville was completed in 1999.
The city hosts a baseball team called The Lions of Savigny-sur-Orge which plays at a national level.
Savigny-sur-Orge is served by Savigny-sur-Orge station on Line C of the Paris Réseau Express Régional (RER).
In May 1909 a venue for aviation races and exhibitions, Port-Aviation, opened to the public in neighbouring Viry-Châtillon as the world's first purpose-built aerodrome. Distinguished visitors arrived at Savigny-sur-Orge station, about 900 metres (980 yd) from Port-Aviation in Savigny-sur-Orge. This led the press and post card publishers occasionally to refer to Port-Aviation by the misnomer "Sauvigny Airfield." However, the general public attending events at Port-Aviation arrived from Paris by rail at Juvisy station in Juvisy-sur-Orge, just under a kilometre (0.6 mile) from the airfield, and the Juvisy railway station had a sign directing visitors to "Juvisy Airfield." As a result, the press and post card publishers more frequently — and just as inaccurately — referred to Port-Aviation as "Juvisy Airfield" or simply "Juvisy," which became the dominant misnomer for Port-Aviation.
