Due to the new edition of the Fête de l'Huma this weekend in Essonne, the department's prefecture is announcing disruptions on the roads, with heavy crowds expected around Base 217 and "severely impacted" traffic conditions.

The Fête de l'Huma returns to Base 217 in Essonne on Friday, September 15, Saturday, September 16 and Sunday, September 17, 2023, with a jam-packedprogram . This is good news for the many participants, who will be delighted to return to this new playground in the Paris region and renew their ties with France's biggest popular festival. But beware, as the Essonne prefecture warns that a large number of people are expected on the department's roads this weekend due to the event.

As a result, traffic conditions will be"impacted", explains the prefecture, which advises avoiding certain areas. " It is strongly advised to avoid in particular the area around the Brétigny-sur-Orge interchange and the RD19 entry ramp due to the measures taken to allow the passage of a large pedestrian flow and bus shuttles circulating between the Brétigny-sur-Orge RER C station and the IRBA traffic circle ", it is specified in a press release from the Essonne Prefecture published on September 14.

" It is therefore strongly recommended to avoid the area and all related roads within a 2 to 3 km radius. It is also advisable to postpone any non-essential travel in this area ", adds the Prefecture, which warns that due to the large number of visitors expected each day on the site of the Fête de l'Humanité, " the entire perimeter around the former BA217, the Croix-Blanche area and more generally all the main and secondary roads serving the area will be heavily impacted and traffic conditions difficult ".
