National Day 2026 in Longjumeau (91): cancellation of festivities planned for July 13

Because of the orange heat-wave alert and a prefectural order banning fireworks across the Essonne department until July 15, the July 13 celebrations in Longjumeau have been canceled. A postponement of the event is currently under consideration, the town said.

In Essonne, tucked between the Templiers forest and the Yvette river, lies the town of Longjumeau. The commune boasts a rich history dating back to Gallo-Roman times. Its châteaux and grand estates recall that Longjumeau welcomed numerous noble families and experienced periods of great prosperity and activity from the Middle Ages through to the modern era.

The French Revolution helped this town gain in power: it was in 1790 that Longjumeau became the seat of its canton. And it is precisely to mark that revolution that the people of Longjumeau will gather this Monday, July 13, 2026.
