Savigny-le-Temple is a commune in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 33.2 km. (20.6 miles) from the center of Paris, in the "new town" of Sénart, created in the 1970s, of which it is the most populated commune.

[edit] History

During the French Revolution, Savigny-le-Temple (meaning "Savigny the temple") was temporarily renamed Savigny-sur-Balory (meaning "Savigny upon Balory", after the small Balory river). It was also temporarily renamed Savigny-le-Port (meaning "Savigny the port"). These changes were probably motivated by the religious connotation of the word "temple".

[edit] Transport

Savigny-le-Temple is served by Savigny-le-Temple – Nandy station on Paris RER line D.
