Essonne river
The Essonne is a long French river. It is a tributary off the left bank of the Seine. Its course crosses the departments of Loiret and Essonne, and it gives its name to the latter. The Essone's name and the present name of its higher course originate in Acionna, a Gallo-Roman river goddess attested at Orléans.Geography
It begins on the Gâtinais plateau at La Neuville-sur-Essonne through the confluence of two rivers, the Œuf—whose source is near Chilleurs-aux-Bois, Loiret, at above sea level—and the Rimarde—whose source is near Nibelle, Loiret,. Notably it runs through Malesherbes and La Ferté-Alais, before running into the Seine at Corbeil-Essonnes.

From Corbeil-Essonnes to its terminus at Malesherbes, the RER D runs along the valley of the Essonne. Part of the basin feeding the Essonne, as well as its course between Malesherbes and La Ferté-Alais, are in the parc naturel régional du Gâtinais français.Communes
