Évry: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Évry is characterised by an unusual combination of landscape, architecture and culture. Particularly distinctive is the sculpture Dame du Lac: the approximately 18-metre-high concrete structure is integrated into a walking area as a gently curved climbing wall. In September 2019, it was awarded the “Patrimoine d’intérêt régional” label by the Île-de-France region. At the same time, the Dame du Lac is currently permanently closed to the public.

Nature

The Parc du Lac covers 22 hectares and includes a seven-hectare lake where recreational, sporting and cultural activities can take place.

Its prayer hall is designed in traditional Vietnamese architecture and can accommodate 1,500 people. Tastings of Vietnamese cuisine are offered as part of the cultural activities organised there.
