The map
About this Gif-sur-Yvette map poster
Gif-sur-Yvette lies in the Yvette valley in the Essonne, southwest of Paris. From above, the town sits in two layers. Down in the valley are the river, the RER B line and the older village streets. Up on the plateau to the north are research campuses and newer neighbourhoods. Wooded slopes between the two levels leave a green band across the map.
The town is closely tied to French science. It hosts a major CNRS campus and is part of the Paris-Saclay university and research cluster that has grown up on the plateau. On the map, that shows in large institutional plots with their own internal roads, which look very different from the winding residential streets in the valley below.
A Gif-sur-Yvette map poster captures that unusual combination: a village by a small river, a suburban rail line, forested hillsides, and a scientific campus on the heights. It suits researchers and students who spent years here, families who live in the valley, and anyone who commuted up and down the Yvette on the RER.

Plateau campuses
On the Saclay plateau, research sites and university buildings occupy large plots with internal roads. They look like a separate, orderly district above the valley.
Wooded slopes
Between the valley and the plateau, forested hillsides leave a wide band with few streets. This natural divide gives the map a clear two-part structure.
