Lieusaint is a French commune in the Seine-et-Marne department, located roughly 30 kilometers southeast of Paris. Originally a small agricultural village, its identity was completely reshaped starting in the 1970s as it became the focal point of the Sénart new town project. This ambitious urban planning initiative aimed to create a balanced environment for living, working, and leisure outside the congested Paris center. Today, Lieusaint is known as the economic and service heart of Sénart, most notably housing the Carré Sénart district. This area features a major shopping and entertainment complex, a national theater, and numerous corporate headquarters. The city is also a key educational hub, hosting the University of Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) campus and major engineering schools like ICAM. The layout of Lieusaint emphasizes sustainability, with green corridors, artificial waterways like the Canal des Saisons, and extensive pedestrian networks. Its strategic location on the RER D train line and proximity to major highways make it a highly accessible and attractive destination for both businesses and young families seeking a modern, green suburban lifestyle.
